Season 3 • Episode 13
LatestRobson Arms tenants are divided into pro and anti condo factions. Caught in the middle of the storm is Fred, who under the spell of his childhood hero Chuck, coerces a sweet old lady into swinging to the pro side. But after finding out the truth about Chuck's dirty dealings, Fred struggles with how to fix the situation - without ruining his marriage to his pro-condo wife, Alicia.
Robson Arms follows the lives of the tenants in a once-grand low-rise in Vancouver's eclectic West End. The building is home to an unlikely collection of characters who live under one roof, yet occupy different worlds. One thing is certain, you'll never see your neighbours the same way again.
Acting
Dave Foley's cringe landlord is devastatingly specific.
Writing
Susin Nielsen's sharp character studies, zero wasted scenes.
Production

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot on location in a real West End apartment building, giving Vancouver its own version of 'High Fidelity' era Chicago—hyperlocal, unglamorous, deeply missed.
Fred Ewanuick's Nick was so popular he nearly spun off into his own series, which would've made him the Canadian Larry David—canceled before it began.
