It’s a struggle being a person of colour in the biggest city in Canada, whether you’re fighting stereotypes or falling into them. It can be a lonely experience, and people of colour look to each other to find community, laughter and distraction. These children of immigrants are also of a decade when pop culture created comic book loving, video game playing, sci-fi movie watching NERDS! BIT PLAYAS’s heroes live both of these realities and reconciling their two very distinct cultures is a little hard — but hilarious.

The series debuted on CBC Gem in Canada and Fuse’s FAST Channel, El Rey Network by Robert Rodriguez, in the US.
