Being Erica is a Canadian series that aired on SOAPnet from 2009 to 2011. It follows the life of Erica Strange, a single, underemployed woman in her late 20s who is struggling to find direction in her life. One day, she meets Dr. Tom, a therapist who offers her a unique opportunity: to travel back in time and relive moments from her past that have led to her current situation.

At first, Erica is skeptical, but she eventually agrees to try the therapy. She soon finds herself transported back to her teenage years, where she must relive pivotal moments in her life, confronting her past mistakes and learning important lessons along the way. Over the course of the series, Erica jumps between different time periods, including her childhood, college years, and early adulthood.

As Erica continues her therapy, she becomes more self-aware and begins to tackle the issues that have held her back in life. She grapples with her strained relationships with her family, including her mother and sister, and struggles to come to terms with her own insecurities and fears. Along the way, she also learns valuable lessons about love, career, and personal growth.

The show features a talented cast of actors, including Erin Karpluk in the lead role of Erica. Michael Riley stars as Dr. Tom, Erica's therapist, while Tyron Leitso plays Ethan, Erica's ex-boyfriend. Other supporting cast members include Vinessa Antoine as Judith, Erica's best friend, Reagan Pasternak as Julianne, Erica's sister, and Morgan Kelly as Brent, Erica's coworker and friend.

Being Erica is known for its unique premise and relatable storyline. The show tackles important issues such as mental health, self-discovery, and personal growth, all while maintaining a lighthearted tone. The characters are easy to root for, and viewers will find themselves invested in Erica's journey as she learns to navigate the challenges of adulthood.

The show is also notable for its creative use of time travel. Each episode takes Erica back to a different moment in her past, allowing viewers to see how different choices could have led to different outcomes. This concept adds an interesting twist to the show and keeps viewers engaged as they wonder where Erica will end up next.

Overall, Being Erica is a heartfelt and engaging series that offers a refreshing take on the traditional sitcom format. It tackles important themes with humor and heart, and its strong cast of characters make it easy to get invested in Erica's journey. If you're looking for a feel-good show that will leave you with a sense of hope and optimism, then Being Erica is definitely worth checking out.
