If Shoresy isn't the most improbable character in TV history to get a spinoff at all — much less an excellent one — then he's very high on the list. He was barely a character at all on Letterkenny. But that relative blank slate, plus the fact that he was being played by the guy doing much of the writing, in hindsight made him the ideal choice. Keeso could have done anything with him. Improbably, he made him the center of a show that's equally ridiculous and heartfelt, and that seems to have eclipsed the popularity of the prior series.

“Shoresy” may have lost some of its rabid comic intensity over the years, but its ribald riffs on brotherly love can still grab your attention in unpredictable ways.
