I am a big fan of First Nation Canadian actors. I like all the characters and so far the story is good. Seems it will be a short first season. This kind of show would never get made in the U.S. so this is a nice treat.
I was told there would be fry bread LMAO!! This is pretty cool so far. I hate that I have to wait 6 days for another episode :(
CBC shows, especially lately, tend to be pretty good. Haven’t watched this yet but it’s on my list!
I am going have to disagree. As a Canadian I wish CBC put on good shows, but the fact is if you look at the good shows in TV. They rarely come from Canada or CBC unfortunately
As another Canadian my reply would be, tell that to the writers, producers and directors of the much lauded “Schitt$ Creek”. Or then there is “The Nature of Things with David Suzuki” in its 59th season. Also “Kim’s Convenience” a sitcom picked up by Netflix. All three are available here on Primewire.
“They rarely come from Canada or CBC unfortunately” pretty sure having a single good show would qualify as rarely.
Breaking Bad is from America so are some other good shows like X Files, Lost, etc. These shows are popular and they come from the State’s. Name one good Canadian shows that is popular. So yeah that’s why I said rarely, all the good shows are from the American networks and arent Canadian.
Asylum - as a lover of sci-fi and fantasy, I love Canadian shows. The Expanse, Killjoys, Orphan Black, Continuum, Travelers, Stargate SG1, to name just a few…and if you count the American ones filmed in Canada as well the number triples.
I think you got your replies mixed up. I was agreeing with you and telling yellowbird that the one good canadian show they mentioned does in fact fall under your “rarely” comment.
umm what about Lost Girl ?
What show? oh wait that garbage show on Showcase sorry but most people dont know what that show is so what about Lost Girl?
Can’t argue with that. All the best drama/horror comes from America
Imho the best drama and comedy come from the UK. Honestly,most countries have stepped up their game with the tv shows they produce especially in Europe!
I see a lot of Canada don’t make good shows. I have no idea.. But this is a really good show. I’m from California an really enjoyed the first two episodes.
yes Flicker .. the originl 21 Jump Street, Star Gate, Sting Ray, lets not forget Frankie, such a cool chick.
what people are forgetting is that for decades major studios have set up partnerships with Canada, because of production costs, Locations and so many great Canadian actors.
I saw your comment after writing a similar one. If you love sci-fi or fantasy, Canada does the most and the best ones, so when I saw people saying Canada doesn’t have a lot of good ones, I was really surprised.
Flicker.. I would never want to go heads up with you in a TV show trivia contest. I’ve seen you around for quite some time here and at the other site most of us used when PW was down. Your involvement and knowledge of TV shows is impressive. Just to be clear, I don’t really look into where TV shows come from. I just watch them if I like them. I saw 2 shows you listed that I really liked and 1 of them that I loved. That show is Project Blue Book and I was disappointed when I found out it was cancelled. While it was indeed filmed in Canada, the story is based in the US. The 5 production companies involved are from the US. the 9 directors that were involved were 1 from Canada, 1 from the UK and 7 from the US. the 6 main actors were 1 from Ireland, 1 from the UK, 1 from Canada, 1 from Russia and 2 from the US. The main network it aired on was the history channel from the US. So I can’t really see this as a Canadian TV show. The only reason I’m even writing this wall of text is out of boredom, nothing more. BTW, what happened to SD.
Hurts my heart that nobody mentioned Letterkenny while listing good Canadian tv shows :( IF you’ve somehow never heard of it, give it a whirl, it can be silly at times, but also hilarious.
as i was reading that interesting exchasnge i too was wondering about “*LetterKenny”. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a comedy that was as smartly written as that. It may be too much of a “thinker” for people looking to get some laughs off but it truly is a diamond in the ruff. Multiple watches may even reveal some hidden laughs since i’m sure, at least, a few of the jokes went over my head the first time.
Don’t forget “Sanctuary,” thank you very much.
so far i LOVE it.
would like to explain why I think this show is terrible but censorship will see me muted
So good, and so disappointing that there will be no Season 2.
I tried it and really liked it
Looking forward to this, wondering if it’s like the trickster from Supernatural. Lets do this!
In “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Logan’s girlfriend told him the story of the Trickster.
So so soooooo worth the watch!!!
That sucks They should of got someone else to take over the show instead of cancelling it
I just don’t understand why they can’t just hire another showrunner. I was really looking forward to a second season.
Love this show and ready for season 2!
Sorry to burst your bubble but the show was canceled due to controversy surrounding the showrunner
Yes I know. Still ready though! Sucks that producers don’t know a grerat show when they have one.
I have really enjoyed this show so far and am awaiting the 6th and final episode this season eagerly.
Although this has a lot more drama than the typical show I prefer to veg out to, I really kinda dig the thrilling supernatural angle of this and the storyline just pulled me in.
Of course there are a few parts where I said “What the fudgecicle” how/why/would a teenager ever act like that. But in the end, it is not really all that important.
I do recommend this to anyone interested and cannot wait for season 2.
Show is not coming back, period. No second season. Was one planned, but the person that was behind it seems like she lied about being an Indian, and got found out, and they cancelled the whole thing on account of that, scrapped the second season. Don’t think that’s right, could have just went ahead without her, but that’s what they went and did. No second season, would post you a link, but not allowed here.
Just read that CBC have agreed a second season… header says ENDED though.
Really enjoyed the first series. Something a little different.
Modern, but rooted in tradition.
the show was canceled due to controversy surrounding the showrunner
Really good episode 3! I’m hooked..
To all the blabber writers USE THE CHAT PLEASE
