“#’Jann’ is a clever Canadian import like ‘Schitt’s Creek’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Canada has a good run of late with homegrown series<\/a> including \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d and \u201cTransplant\u201d finding success in the US.<\/p>\n

You can add \u201cJann\u201d to that list. Both seasons of the comedy series, which premiered on Canada\u2019s CTV in 2019, are now available on Hulu and are (very loosely) based on the harried life of acclaimed singer\/songwriter Jann Arden, who co-created the series and plays herself. While it doesn\u2019t have the bite of forerunners including \u201cCurb Your Enthusiasm\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s a bit more gentle (not such a bad thing) \u2014 it does have Arden. She proves to be a deft comedienne who\u2019s not afraid to poke fun at her image or at the fickle\/unforgiving industry in which she rose to stardom.<\/p>\n

The \u201cJann\u201d we meet at the outset is struggling in both her professional and personal lives. She\u2019s six years sober, and the hits have dried up \u2014 she\u2019s reduced to playing her acoustic guitar at an outdoor farmer\u2019s market before a sparse crowd \u2014 and she\u2019s also dealing with her breakup from girlfriend Cynthia (Sharon Taylor). Her devoted, longstanding manager, Todd (Jason Blicker), is a nice guy who genuinely believes in Jann but hasn\u2019t adapted to current promotional norms (read: social media<\/a>). \u201cI can\u2019t even go viral properly,\u201d Jann laments after the police release a video of her unfortunate (and funny) incident involving cows and barbed wire. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jann\u2019s flustered married sister, Max (Zoie Palmer), is unexpectedly pregnant with her fourth child and fobs their aging, forgettable mother (Deborah Grover) onto her sister. Mom moves with Jann into the cottage on her estate, since she\u2019s renting out the main house for some extra scratch. Todd notes that \u201cThere\u2019s a type of \u2018Grey Gardens vibe\u201d to their relationship. (The real-life Arden wrote a 2017 book about dealing with her aging mother\u2019s Alzheimer\u2019s disease.)<\/p>\n

It turns out that Jann\u2019s house is being rented by Canadian indie singer\/songwriter Feist (playing herself as a vicious, self-absorbed type). She, of course, can\u2019t be bothered to engage, but her obnoxious, pushy millennial manager, Cale (Elena Juatco), sees Jann as a reclamation project worthy of her precious time. She tries pushing Todd to the curb, causing angst for him and Jann (who\u2019s got mixed emotions about the situation).<\/p>\n

In-between, there are an assortment of \u201cthings that go wrong\u201d for Jann and many outlandish situations, but she soldiers on with a world-weary shrug and cynical point of view, which serves her well. Her supporting cast meshes well \u2014 Palmer, as her sister Max, is a standout \u2014 and the series was shot in and around Calgary, which gives it a realistic feel (which you don\u2019t get from a studio).<\/p>\n
