Title of a Canadian comedy TV series?

May 10, 2016 12:45 PM

I watched a quirky ~10-episode Canadian comedy TV series 2-5 years ago. I recall it involved an auto body shop, alcohol, and a bank heist.

Pretty sure I found the series on Youtube. Details I recall:

• A main character usually carried a cocktail on ice in a highball glass almost all the time (i.e., while driving, while robbing a bank, etc).
• The same character (I think) opened an auto body shop at one point.
• Several characters were involved in a big bank heist toward the end of the series.
• Another recurring character (balding, 50s) often showed up drunk in his underwear, including at the bank heist.

Haha! I'd be shocked if it wasn't found sooner!

"recurring character (balding, 50s) often showed up drunk in his underwear"

There is only one Canadian shows that matches that description!

Also, as I realised while watching it in a dive bar on Saturday, a very young but recognisable Ellen Page, because every famous Canadian actor is constitutionally obliged to appear in every famous Canadian show.
