Call Me Fitz a (failed) redemption story

From Denise Duguay of the Montreal Gazette:

  • Series debut: Jason Priestley in HBO Canada’s Call Me Fitz
    “But playing shockingly against type is not enough of a trick to sustain even a half-hour comedy so thankfully there’s more to like in Call Me Fitz, although “like” might not be the right word. It’s a redemption story, or maybe just a failed redemption story with dark humour and vigorously drawn characters.” Read more.
