I dont know if you guys get this show in America or else where, its based in Canada though and its really strange. The show is just ten people commuting from work to home everyday chatting on the train. The show only gets really good if you follow the plot closely like a soap. But i've really gotten into it lately, the dialoge is semi-improved and very natural sounding, the charaters are interesting and life like. Anyhoo, wondering if anyone else is into this show as much as i am.

I watched it a couple of times. The best character is Johnny, the average Joe who loves his beer, women, and sports.

The other characters are quite boring and uninteresting, especially the female cast.

Watched 4 minutes of it one day.
It felt like a soap opera and was in no interest in following up on it. Although I saw a comercial for it 2 days ago asking for people to go online and vote for a choice that one of the characters has to make. That'll make for an interesting interactive change to the regular dullard of soaps. Something like Banzai, but not in gameshow fashion.

I didn't think it was better than any Canadian non-comedy. I'd watch it late at night when I had trouble sleeping and the awkward, half-improvised dialogue would usually knock me out. It's an interesting concept for a show though, I wonder if the Australian series that it was based on was any better?
