To C or not BC, that is the question. Apologies for that, but it's New Year's Eve and it's hard to come up with a lede for this story about CBC Gem's streaming offerings for January 2025!
The free streaming service will launch the new original series North of North (about a young mother in an Arctic town) and Saint-Pierre (a Quebec crime procedural). January will also see the return of Son of a Critch, Stuff the British Stole, Allegiance and Wild Cards, while The Passionate Eye will examine the Louis C.K. controversy in Sorry/Not Sorry.
The service will also get some acclaimed features including Nomadland, Snowpiercer, Napoleon Dynamite, The Grand Budapest Hotel, 12 Years a Slave and Alice, Darling. Those who were sad to learn that Shiva Baby is leaving Netflix this month will be pleased to find that it is landing on CBC Gem.
