It was okay, but not LOL funny. It traded in so many stock sterotypes (the paranoid yokel, the evasive politician, the rabble rousing radio talk show host, the wise and kindly minister) that it was hardly illuminating. The thing that rang most true (for Canadians) was the automatic suspicion of the small-town community -- both Muslim and Christian -- of the character from Toronto (who was the new Imam).
I might watch it again. With some creative writing and character development, it could be good. On the other hand, it could rapidly descend into a white liberal guilt show.
