In the news: Being Erica previews

Being Erica

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

  • Erica’s even better second time
    “I must confess, I was wrong about this show. Not that I don’t still love it to bits – it remains one of the best things on the air, on either side of the border (which it is, and gaining a solid following in the U.S., even hidden away on Soapnet). Indeed, I loved it so much, I didn’t want to change a thing.” Read more.

Erica0418From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • Two shows aimed at women. One good, one not
    “As the series progressed, though, Erica became less appealing and the show wandered into self-indulgence, along with its two main characters. Unfortunately, tonight’s new season opener is no improvement.” Read more.

From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

  • Judging Erica
    “Some viewers think Erica — played by Erin Karpluk — is just fine, but most of the other people in her life are jerks. Others believe it’s Erica who needs to get her priorities straight.” Read more.

In the news: Erin Karpluk on Being Erica season 2

Erica4070From Kat Angus of Dose:

  • Interview: Erin Karpluk is Back to Being Erica
    “But despite the show’s success, the Being Erica writers realized that their titular character had evolved to the point that repeating the first season’s formula wasn’t an option. While Erica will still feature plenty of time travel, Season 2 focuses more on the mysterious Dr. Tom, how this unusual therapy works and whether there’s any other magic to be found around Toronto.” Read more.
