Tribal

I really like the concept - it's not a new story but it's exploration of bias, discrimination, and historical views is done with a heavily dramatic twist which makes it interesting - I like that it depicts not only the stereotypes of indigenous culture but presses forward to show the full spectrum of people and lifestyles within that culture. I always like a good crime drama. As an actor I know the first few episodes of a series you're finding your footing re: fleshing out who the character is, what their / focuses / loves / hates /relationships are all about, and how this can effect the acting and people's perception of the character. That's why I'm not too quick to judge a series a few episodes in. I'm excited to see where this journey heads. I'm just hoping in avoids the pitfalls of drama for dramas sake and focuses on the complexities of the story and the characters living it.

I rather like the show but it can be so much better, acting is pretty wooden and as for the story line, you can tell its been done on a cheap budget. I'd like to see a 2nd series but I'd be very surprised

At first we are taken aback by the soap-opera, rather amatuerish production values of this police series. It has a home movie feel to it much of the time, the editing is a bit lame, the actors often a bit stiff. But it will grow on you. The actual story is about a new young woman, an indegious native woman from a nearby reservation in some metropolitan city that is not named. She is the new chief of the tribal law enforcement division. And she is just fine. A beautiful and talented young actress, she is the root that carries the series along, with her salty, semi-broken old detective partner, a white guy who is not happy. He grows on you also. They bring an in your face narrative about and with real and actual indigenous actors. The story telling is authentic and to the point about real crimes in Indian Country. The actual story telling is very good. Give it a chance. Everyone gets better as the series progresses. Surprise yourself and actually learn something about Native Tribal peoples and the corrupted, flawed police and political people involved.

Watched the first episode. It was pretty good. What made it good is the character Ricky Gray., Anthony Timpano. Played the character very well and very believable. Well done Anthony! Needs to be on more episodes not just one!

I seem to like the cop shows that Canada puts out. I love the plot of this show. I get to watch the beautiful Jessica Matten in another series. And who would have thought Brian Markinson could play a character I wouldn't like? Lol. I think this is the first role of his, that I've seen him in, playing a "bad" character. Or rather an unlikable character.

I had known ahead of time how his character would be. And he plays it perfectly. Can't wait to watch the rest of the season.
