Stupid Canada won’t let me stupid watch it.
I watched it from the UK using an unblocker and directly on CC’s website : http://www.cc.com/shows/the-meltdown-with-jonah-and-kumail
It was far better than I was expecting. And I expected it to be great. Nice job Emily, Jonah and Kumail.
Awesome first episode! Setting my DVR to make sure I don’t miss an episode.
