    The only thing Canadian about this are the token Canadian flags sprinkled here and there. If this qualifies as "can con" there's something wrong with the regulations. An unimaginative and risk-averse sit-com transposed onto a lake and given some superficial Canadian veneer.

    I don't know what I was expecting but between fish-herpes, a slasher-parody episode and roadkill puppeteering lets just say that this show is a fun wild ride. It really picks up halfway through the season, and I noticed that's when there is a change in directors, the back half of the episodes are way funnier and sweeter, the jokes land more often and even Julia Stiles' character, who is aI don't know what I was expecting but between fish-herpes, a slasher-parody episode and roadkill puppeteering lets just say that this show is a fun wild ride. It really picks up halfway through the season, and I noticed that's when there is a change in directors, the back half of the episodes are way funnier and sweeter, the jokes land more often and even Julia Stiles' character, who is a straight-up villain, becomes somewhat endearing. All around is a fun, light comedy with great representation and amazing cast.… Expand

    The Lake is a coming-of-age show that isn’t trying to be for kids, but is also trying to tell a multi-layered story with smart, character-driven jokes, which it succeeds to do most of the time.

    The Lake is very watchable. Powered by its more than capable cast, the series is perhaps the only show you’ll watch this season with storylines around fish herpes and canoe tilting competitions, season-long arcs about home renovations and family estates, and recurring jokes about Mean Girls and gays’ love-hate relationship with carbs. Which, in a way, makes a perfect summer TV distraction.

    “The Lake,” the deliciously bitchy new comedy from Amazon, doesn’t just find the piquant comedy in p.c.; its whole setup makes light of the diversity-obsessed. ... It also has enough self-awareness to make all the purposeful enlightenment part of the comedy, which is plentiful and smart.
