The Yard is a Canadian mockumentary comedy series that originally aired on HBO Canada in 2011. Set in a schoolyard, the series depicts the interactions of two rival gangs of elementary school students, with the plot of each episode serving as a parody of an adult-oriented crime drama series such as The Sopranos or The Wire. In the United States it is available for online streaming exclusively on Hulu in both "censored" and "uncensored" versions and for 1080p HD digital download on the iTunes Store.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Created during peak 'prestige TV' era when every drama needed wiretaps and moral ambiguity — the show asks why we take grown men in leather jackets this seriously.
Hulu's 'censored' version bleeped the kids' swearing, which somehow makes the playground crime fantasy even more unsettling — like watching a broadcast news report about recess.
