The Beaverton

2016 · 3 seasons

A rapid-fire fake newscast that skewers headlines with deadpan anchors and sharp Canadian-flavoured jokes, easy to dip into and consistently wry.

Overview: Co-anchors Emma Hunter and Miguel Rivas deliver critical blows to the unrelenting news cycle, hitting above, and when necessary, below the belt, casting a Canadian lens on global issues.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, absurd and light. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Media, politics, class, power
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
