Citadel (Holoscreen Show)

"Citadel" is a popular holoscreen sitcom that airs on the Citadel's holoscreen network, CTV. The show first aired in 2399, but was canceled due to budget cuts. It was later revived in 2584, with a whole new cast, as most of the original cast and crew either passed on or left to pursue other opporitunities.
==Plot==
The original series was to follow the antics of two roommates, Jarot the Salarian neat freak and Ven Aslok, a rough and rowdy volus, along with their band of friends that included Jarot's elcor girlfriend, a Batarian landlord, and wisecracking Gardexian janitor. The new series premiered in the summer of 2584, following the life of Kolyat Mihras, a drell working at the Presidium embassies as a security guard along with his partner, Nylena the turian. When he is evicted from his apartment in the Zakera Wards, Nylena's roommate, an Asari named Ferina, who coincidentally is Kolyat's very optimistic girlfriend, invited the drell to move into their apartment near the Presidium commons. Upon moving in, Kolyat discovers very quickly that the three of them aren't alone, as there are four other beings also living in the apartment. The first we meet is Nya' Ariiv vas Tonbay, a moody Quarian stranded here on her pilgrimage. There's also a Salarian, Varrok, who works at Huerta Memorial as a lab technician and sample analyst. The final two are Gurdge and Suhk. Gurdge is a Krogan that works in a shipping yard with Suhk the Vorcha, who's childish antics seem to get the Krogan either in trouble, angry, or both. The entire series follows the seven people of different races, as well as more minor characters such as C-Sec Chief TJ Hooker XVIII, as they go through life and learn to live with one another despite their differences. It also keeps some elements from the old series such as dialogue or minor characters.
The series has run for five seasons so far, and its increasing popularity hints at even more. It has won awards for Best Comedy, Best Actress, and Best Portrayal of Interspecies Relationships.
