The Yard is a reminder that turf wars extend beyond Oswald State Correctional Facility
The Yard is a reminder that turf wars extend beyond Oswald State Correctional Facility
Equal parts Oz, Disney’s Recess and The Wire, HBO Canada’s The Yard is a 30-minutes-per-episode comedy centered on the politics of the playground (with swearing). We’ll walk you through the bedwetting, trading-card economy and mean-girl groin-kicking antics in our recaps, beginning today, but in the meantime here’s the trailer that got us hooked.
The show is great! All the kids do a great job and the show is hilarious. Too bad it is only a 6 episode miniseries
This show is so funny! The acting is remarkable and very believable. It keeps your attention by being face paced, witty and surprising – and the swearing does seem necessary to relay how kids really talk in a New York playground when adults are not around. The six episodes are only a taste of what this show can offer viewers, we hope there is a second season to come.
This show is a stroke of genius! A revival for Canadian produced television content. At face value, it’s all fun and games, but the writers cook in so much more than that. And above all, could Nick (played By Quintin Colantoni) be any more like his father (Enrico Colantoni)?!
Why are North American child actors so bad? The acting is terrible in the Yard. I couldn’t even make it through the first ten minutes of this show it was that bad.
Actually the bully character is not that bad an actor. The rest are shite.
