Godiva's is a television program produced for Bravo Canada. The storyline takes place in a restaurant in Yaletown. The show contains oodles of local images and references. As well, Godiva's is full of stereotypical characters; however, even these are local ones. For example, there's the Chinese immigrant doctor who's not qualified to practice medicine in Canada. He washes dishes in the restaurant.
I guess the only reason it's clichéd is because we're here. Consequently, the fact we can relate, is probably what makes it so damned addicting. I'm so happy they keep creating and putting together shows that I don't want to miss.
