One of the best TV shows I have ever seen. Unfortunate it was cancelled before the story could be finished. Still worth re-watching these first two seasons over and over again. Excellent cast! Amazing characters and character development development! The writing is out of this world! The cinematography is great! And the production design has gone above and beyond!! I recommend this show to anyone and everyone, especially if you like character driven shows. This show is the GOAT.

Finished watching season 2 last night, this show has some of the finest writing and acting on television. In a world of over the top shows and bleak story Lodge 49 brings charm, hope and a bit of alchemy to transform even the very pessimistic of us to believe in something a bit more than just the ordinary.

L49 occupies a surprisingly under-utilized space in "prestige" tv, between drama and comedy, and between magical realism and sincere/grounded human narrative. Not only does the writing perfectly maintain this balance, but the performances are all—every single one—shining, engaging, and at times quite affecting. Its mysteries also show a surprising breadth of knowledge and respect for its more esoteric subject matter, and it makes for a genuinely warm and intriguing whole. Is Larry an Ipsissimus? Is it all a metaphor? Do any of these questions even matter?! Who knows. But I'm in for the ride from here on out.
