In the latest season of Kim’s Convenience, Jung Kim (Simu Liu) says “Is Kim’s convenience a rare feeling in these trying times? A warm greeting for friends and strangers?”
Going more into the context behind this would mean giving away a bit too much. But Jung’s take on the convenience store that his parents own is an apt take on what the much-loved Canadian sitcom has come to mean for many people. Especially through the last year, the show has prominently featured in several lists of feel-good, fun shows for comfort-watching during the pandemic.
