In the news: Being Erica’s regrets

From Joshua Ostroff of Eye Weekly:

  • Peggy Sue didn’t get married
    “From Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” to Michael J. Fox’s Back to the Future, the fact that our present is butterfly-built from past decisions has provided some fine artistic fodder. Add to this canon Being Erica, a charming new Toronto-set series about an over-educated, underachieving single gal who travels back in time to try and make her life suck less.” Read more.
