Where to Watch The Upper Hand in Canada

7 seasons. 95 episodes. The Upper Hand earns every one of them, and right now it's all streaming on Sky Go. A strong pick for any comedy fan.

The Upper Hand does what great comedies rarely manage — it's actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. The Upper Hand is a British television sitcom, produced by Central Independent Television and Columbia Pictures Television and broadcast by ITV from 1990 to 1996. The programme was adapted from the American sitcom Who's the Boss?. As in the former series, an affluent single woman, raising a son with the help of her mother, hires a housekeeper only to have a man apply for the job. Honor Blackman and Kellie Bright lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 7 seasons (1990–1996), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, The Upper Hand is a strong candidate — fans of Love Rhythms the Series: Accidental Daddy will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
