If you’re a fan of dramedies, you might want to check out the complete first season of “Robson Arms,” which is now playing on FilmOn.com.

The Canadian show about tenants in a Vancouver apartment complex started in 2005 and ran for three years and gave insight into the characters and their personal lives behind closed doors. If you haven’t seen the show before, you might expect a lot of comedy mixed in with a smattering of drama, but there is a lot more drama to this show than meets the eye.

According to TVDVDReviews.com, there is a lot of stuff in “Robson Arms” that some American viewers might not be used to. “The first thing you’ll notice about ‘Robson Arms,’ especially if you’re not Canadian, is that Canadian television is a lot less censored than the American variety. The very first episode, of the very first season, concerns a 10 year old boy who surmises that his newly single mom requires ‘a good poke’ to be happy…It’s kind of cute, but it’s also a lot more frank than U.S. TV…these characters are also not inhibited about dropping the occasional f-bomb now and again, which would get any American network fined automatically.”

If you want to watch “Robson Arms,” make sure to sign up for FilmOn.com, which is $14.95 a month.
