Blackstone

Many shows decrease in quality with each passing season, Blackstone is the opposite. The show takes a season or so to hit its stride, but incredible character development starts in the first episode. Every character is allowed to have flaws, which allows for nuanced and very real portrayals. The acting on this show is unparalleled, the performers are able to take complex and often very heavy story lines and portray them in a way that is respectful and real. Michelle Thrush and Carmen Moore, often seen in supporting or guest roles in other shows, give career defining lead performances. This show handles sensitive topics incredibly well, and not in an "episode of the week" type fashion. A single issue is often shown from multiple different perspectives. All in all, Blackstone is a riveting, intense, and memorable drama highlighting an incredibly talented cast.

Sad they took it off netflix, it's a pretty solid show and there's not many that delve into the life of living on a native reserve.

I'm pretty sure their official website allows you to watch it for free. So give it a watch, it's worth the time.

Understand something. I'm not epileptic. Never have been. Could play VirtualBoy hours on end and never get ill. But this show, like with too many productions these days, don't understand how annoying jerking the camera all over the place is. Imagine talking to a person, looking in their face, reading them, but they're quickly swaying back and forth. Won't keep watching. It's broken. Might not even be a bad show. I won't know. Story-wise, it seems decent enough. Not being native, I can't tell you how much of this is theatrical silliness or how much is egregiously "incorrect" to their culture. Regardless... they messed up with the cameras here.

I really wanted to watch this series, but I literally could not tolerate the nauseating camera work. Why film directors ever choose this approach is beyond me. Don't they realise that by shaking the camera all over the place, you instantly alienate every single audience member with notion sickness tendencies. Sucj a strange model trend in cinematography.

This could have been great. Unwatchable. The characters seem great and series is so far well written. I can't watch anymore.
