So I found this one season (26 episode) extremely campy sci fi TV show -- a low budget 2007 Canadian production -- called Grand Star. Watched a few episodes last night. OMG it's so terrible it is awesome.

It's like a B-grade GameCube era JRPG got crossed with Snowpiercer. I can't stop watching it somehow.

Anyone else seen this amazing piece of ... something? ;)

"Toronto warehouse sci-fi" was almost its own genre for a while, with The Expanse sort of being the apotheosis of the form.

Rivalling only "Vancouver Warehouse Sci-fi"

Maybe we can be ecumenical and call it Canadian Warehouse Sci-Fi. LOL.

Create a TV Tropes page for it and it'll live forever as Canadian Warehouse Sci-Fi.

Could sort of just go through this list and see what fits haha. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_science_fiction_TV_and_radio_shows_produced_in_Canada#Live_action_science_fiction_television_drama_series
