Our Review
Letterkenny (2016) is a comedy series from Crave. It has built a run of 74 episodes. It premiered on February 7, 2016. Viewers rate it 8 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 12 seasons.
What Letterkenny Is About
Wayne is a good-ol’ country boy in Letterkenny, Ontario trying to protect his homegrown way of life on the farm, against a world that is constantly evolving around him. The residents of Letterkenny belong to one of three groups: Hicks, Skids, and Hockey Players. The three groups are constantly feuding with each other over seemingly trivial matters; often ending with someone getting their ass kicked.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 74 episodes, spread across 12 seasons and it leans into its comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Jared Keeso, Michelle Mylett and K. Trevor Wilson to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Jared Keeso, Michelle Mylett, K. Trevor Wilson, Nathan Dales, Dylan Playfair and Andrew Herr lead the cast.
Key roles include Jared Keeso as Wayne; Michelle Mylett as Katy; K. Trevor Wilson as Dan; Nathan Dales as Daryl; Dylan Playfair as Reilly.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Crave’s other originals, a 8/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2016 and carried by Crave with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy viewers.
How Letterkenny Compares
If Letterkenny lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Letterkenny is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Jared Keeso and Michelle Mylett doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy roots, It has held up since 2016 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Letterkenny is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy lane, at 74 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 8/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 8/10. Watch it if you want comedy you can settle into.
