Rick and Cindy are the big winners of the storage war!

When will Bogart's dad wise up and slap the snot out of that disrespectful little mouthy baby that he is raising?

It gets worse and worse
brendanturner20 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
A very simple formula show acted out by a hodgepodge of possible actual locker gamblers and/or a bunch of actors of all different abilities. Each episode features these players throwing scripted insults at each other and 'betting' on obviously salted storage lockers - which they ostensibly turn over to generate personal income.

The actors break the fourth wall and the barriers between reality and fiction in a self-effacing way only true Canadians could fumble at. They riff on little side jokes while they dig through the lockers inevitably finding something they will take and show to an 'expert' for appraisal during the third act.

Most of these obviously amateur appraisers also seem to own a local business which is shown prominently several times during the interaction. In a few cases, the actors pass over possibly interesting items - like a locker full of interesting collections of items - in favour of some well presented and marketable product - like a tread-wheel for dogs. Once the three appraisals are all complete, the winner is announced based on the amount they 'won' in the auction.

The formula then repeats itself until you realize that you will never recover the time you just wasted and decide to shut it off.

Fake as Can Be
biggabear6 July 2017
This show is SO fake. Notice the contents of all the lockers is clean. No dust. Anything stored long enough for the storage facility to foreclose on the locker will be dirty and dusty. None of this stuff is the least bit dirty. Example: July 6 Ursula buys a locker and starts pulling glass top tables out of it. The glass is still crystal clear clean. The refrigerator is clean. The floor is clean. There is a home brewing kit for beer. The glass jar is crystal clean. No dust. They must send the crew out to local garage sales to buy things to stock the lockers with. The buyers are obvious fakes. The old blonde and her boyfriend must be on probation. They've obviously lost their driver's licenses because they have someone driving them everywhere. I like the original Storage Wars. It has a level of reality to it. Dirty contents, and their buyers have websites with things I saw them buy for sale on the website. This Canada thing is as fake as fake can be.

Embarrassing, eh?
ArtVandelayImporterExporter7 June 2017
I thought the original Storage Wars was bad but this Canuckistani spin off takes the proverbial maple-syrup covered cake. The cast looks like they were pulled out of a lineup at a RUSH concert. That high-mileage blonde was dancing in dive bars before I was born. Maybe even before that greaseball she's with was born, too. Seriously, there's no way that guy has ever had a day job. The guy with the gap-toothed grille? C'mon now. We don't have the perfect chicklets of Americans but we're not the British, either. The middle-aged guy is familiar. Probably an actor from another bad Canadian show I can't remember anymore. But he's not just an off-the- street locker-buyer. Ursula is about as Canadian as Thai food. I bet a lot of money she's a Hollywood import. This entire show is cringe-inducing.

I thought it was cute
drriii27 January 2019
I really expected the show to be bad after what other people wrote. It is a cheesy knock off but, I don't think storage wars is ever quality television. But, it's a new cast, new situations, and these people don't seem as smart as the US but it's is still enjoyable.

If you're into people, this is your show
suripat27 July 2019
If you like to see a bunch of rednecks and rubber-titted body-bent latina women fighting over luggage full of dirty underwear for $500 inside a storage facility hoping that they hit the jackpot, then this show is for you. Good luck.

Can't stand Roy
tmgoodwi9 January 2019
Overall this show is kind of entertaining, though it seems very highly staged. Roy's character specializes in harassment, especially of Ursula. She is married and has no interest, dude. Please stop, it's gross.

Drama Wars
jarodoflua29 January 2019
Four teams of 'contestants' battle it out at locker auction, hurling insults and curses at each other and their own teams. As far as I can tell, they don't actually win anything. They just want to permanently shut everyone else out of the storage pillage business. Things like 'So I didn't buy a locker today. But I still played my cards high enough to make sure they don't profit' are quite common. Again, you don't win anything by insulting or discouraging the other contestants. So much drama.

Old News
taz61221 July 2017
Nothing new here. This is the same as Storage Wars Canada. Same episodes that were released in 2013. Not sure what they are trying to do other than make $ just for a different title. Could this be considered fraud? If it's not, it should be. Please remove this listing IMDb or I will no longer use this website. It's getting bad when networks have to relist the same show under a different title.

Cheesy as a Canadian hockey puck
mikemjw-mw22 February 2020
It doesn't have to make sense. The show gets pretty hammy sometimes. But you can tell they're not actors. Roy is my favorite tv personality ever. Paul and bogey are hilarious. People need to stop being so crabby and just enjoy fun stupidity sometimes. Not family friendly tho. Potty mouthed canadians

Fake!
sparklingstardust-5487810 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is my least favorite of all the storage shows. There is NO WAY this is NOT Scripted!

What's with all the sexual innuendos? It's Definitely NOT a family show. Keep your children away from this one. You'll be answering Way too many questions and they'll be learning more than they should. Especially from television!

Bogart is the perfect example of overly acting being stupid.

I've Never seen people "act" SOOOO STUPID naturally in my life!!! I mean, are there really people that stupid and obnoxious?

I gave three stars because of the fact they give you totals won for each person/couple. Other than that, the show is a Zero!!!

COMPLETELY FAKE!!!

Better then the OG
scirca20 January 2022
This show is so much better then the American storage wars. They may not find huge scores but the buyers are so much better and it's way more entertaining. Love the show!!!
