From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

• A gal both sexes can root for
  “Being Erica (CBC, 9 p.m.) is very fine TV drama. It’s entertaining, smart, serious and nuanced. It’s definitely not silly chick-flick material, which is a relief, though it is obviously intended to please female viewers, especially twenty- and thirtysomethings. It fetishizes high-school experiences a tad too much but, in the three episodes I’ve seen, there are no letdowns, no segments that feel false. Its strength is that it has an emotional heft that feels authentic, not contrived. And that means it’s not just for those women viewers that CBC lusts after.” Read more.

From Cassandra Szklarski of the Canadian Press:

• CBC time-travel comedy relives 90’s
  “If only she knew then what she knows now, things could have turned out so differently. So begins the quirky time-travelling series Being Erica, an hour-long dramedy that follows the neverending growing pains of thirty-something underachiever Erica Strange.” Read more.

From Joel Rubinoff of the Waterloo Record:

• Being Erica means reliving a life gone astray
  “‘My name is Erica Strange,’ says the title character (Erin Karpluk) in Being Erica (9 p.m. Monday on CBC), a fantastical (and near-fantastic) Canadian production that avoids the pitfalls of most time-travel shows by sidestepping soapy drama for a deeper appreciation of the transient forces of destiny.” Read more.
