After his affair with Samantha, Erica has problems facing Kaj, while Sam still dates him. Dr. Tom sends her back to a situation that lead to a big fight between her father Gary and her brother Leo, so she can learn the lesson that the truth is sometimes hidden underneath.
After another disagreement with Erica over Kaj, Dr. Tom takes on a session himself, which sends him back to the day he saw his daughter Sarah for the last time.
Thirty-two years old and nowhere near her proper life path, Erica Strange gets to work on understanding where she went wrong in her past with the help of Dr. Tom. In each episode, Erica relives a part of her past that she regrets and has the chance to do it again the right way. The series… More originally premiered on CBC in Canada January 5th, 2009, while in the United States, the series is shown on SOAPnet. The series was renewed for a second season consisting of 12 episodes. Production started June 1st, 2009, in Toronto, Canada.
as title says any word on if there will be a season 3
Living in Austria I was lucky enough to accidently find this show on the download circuit. It is such a brilliant show and Erin Karpluk is such an incredible actress that I would like to think my fellow countrymen (and women) back home in the USA can enjoy it as well. My question to those of you… More who frequent this forum is 'Are all of you living in Canada or is "Being Erica" also shown in other places on cable or satellite?' Maybe we can have a show of hands. Okay maybe if a few of you from other lands write in and say where you're watching it from that would be fine too. Thanks.
I was pretty unimpressed by the Season 2 finale. First of all, I don't think Erica should have broken up with Ethan. The guy's sweet, good-looking, and treats her like gold. So what if he does not agree with her career decision? He didn't threaten to leave her just because she wants to… More open her own business. He disagreed with her decision, and I guess she just could not handle that. I think it was a quick, impulsive break-up, and she will regret it later. Also, it was not much of a cliffhanger. I am not even curious about what was behind the door that she chose. I don't think there was ample anticipation for that scene. What does everyone else think?
A great show that takes my two favorite things time travel and drama and puts them together.Something i didn't think would ever be done.Not to mention aired on soap network.Funny right. hide show
Spoiler alert.Erica strange is the type of person in the begining who has nothing going for her.She screws everything up or worse. So on what seems like one of the worst days of her life she ends up meeting a Dr.Tom her new physiatrist who has a strange way of doing his sessions.By having her write up all her past mistakes.So what does Dr.Tom do sends her back in time to try to settle everything.She goes through alot on the list this season including the hardest grief not only she had but her mom,dad and sister the death of her brother Leo.So all in all the first season was great especially the episode where she becomes a hippie and gets messed up my shrooms.To anyone who hasn't seen the first one check out hulu they have the first season thanks thats how i finished the season and i can't wait see more of the second season all i've seen is the first which was great.So lets hope for much more great episodes and a third season please...
This is actually a well written show and Erin Karpiuk is excellent in the role of Erica Strange; the time travelling, guilt ridden, thirty something woman with low self esteem.
The problem with the series, from my perspective, is that week after week, the show is about a time travelling, guilt ridden, thirty something woman with low self esteem.
I get the point. We all have things we'd do differently if we knew then what we know now. I choose to accept my mistakes, cringe every now and then when I think about them and be glad its behind me...hoping at the same time I'm a better person.
Despite all her "lessons", Erica is still full of remorse about everything, and except for the last five minutes of every episode where all seems right with her world, she is in fact a major fubar.
Its a bit of a downer...very little "edy" in this dramedy, and I find it wearing despite the good acting.
Just me I guess...
Erica Strange is not where she expected her life to be at thirty-two. She meets Dr. Tom who helps her to face some the regrets she has in life. hide show
Being Erica is a very interesting concept for a show. If we could go back to the past with the clarity and maturity of the present to correct some of the mistakes we made, how would it change out future? Erica finds that even when she faces her regrets head on, other mistakes can be made. To help her negotiate the mysteries of life, she meets Dr. Tom. In their sessions, he attempts to give her greater insight into the choices she has made, past and present. Erica begins to see the people in her life in a different light. I look forward to see if the journey Erica takes, gives us an understanding and appreciation of our own lives.
Sweet show that looks at the what if's of the title characters life - and she gets to go back in time and change things. hide show
The main character, Erica, is endearing and you can completely relate to her. I've watched a few episodes now and really like the show; in the first epi Erica is having a bad day and is trying to deal with her own dissapointment with how her life turned out. She was so promissing in high school and she is afraid she peaked back then and that this is a good as it gets. Then she meets Dr. Tom, who helps her by sending her back in time to deal with her regrets or "what if's" and each epi deals with a different regret in her past. Sometimes she ends up making a completely different decision, thus solving her regret but sometimes she ends up making he same decision which makes her see that she needs to trust herself.
Erin Karpluk is really believable as Erica, the girl who has it all, she really is great in this role and the whole supporting cast is great and points for everyone involved in this show for helping creating such an authentic feel when Erica travels back in time.
The best thing to fill the ABC void. hide show
So it's obvious that shows with new ideas and story lines we haven't seen before don't last too long right now. ABC killed off Pushing Daisies (brilliant show) Eli Stone, and Life on Mars and Ugly Betty was close to getting the axe. Then from our friends to the north comes a great show to fill the gap.
Being Erica has it all; drama, comedy and a touch of the unexplained "supernatural." You may not spend an hour laughing out loud, as the humor is more subtle and intelligent, but you'll definitely have a smile on your face from beginning to end.
Give it a try and you'll fall in love too.
