North of North

This is a wonderful, joyous show! I heartily recommend it!

It is neither cookie cutter nor pablum. It is a joyful upbeat show with great likeable characters but it is not not lacking in human insight.

Although it shows us a culture that is not super familiar, the characters feel like friends. It does not shy away from some darker subjects but leaves us laughing. It is the kind of show the whole family can watch but it doesnt talk down to us.

These are humanly flawed and very loveable prople.

This is very good TV. It covers a lot of ground but doesn't overwhelm us.

I sure hope this show does another season!

North of North is the first show I have seen that takes place in a northern community. I love all the characters, but the actress playing Siaja really shines. She is amazing and her comedic timing and expressions are fun to watch. The writing is fun and light hearted. So many shows these days are dystopian and dark, as are our times, that it was a gift to find this ray of sunshine. This show is a refreshing addition to the CBC lineup. The show reminded me of Schitt's Creek to be honest. I really hope they get a second season. Ten episodes is definitely not enough of this absolute gem of a Canadian show.

Earnest, fresh, engaging show that showcases the beauty and challenges of Northern life through unique, contemporary Inuit-centered stories. Lots of heart while also quirky and hilarious. I'm really rooting for Siaja - she's messy, funny, driven, beautiful, whip-smart and resourceful... It was very easy to fall in love with her, her family and community. There was obvious thought and care put in every aspect of the production, it gives the show a very believable feel - this doesn't feel like a folklorized, frozen (pun!) -in-time version of Nunavut, rather a real, current place. I don't doubt it will boost interest in tourism and fashion from the region (the characters wear some truly gorgeous items of clothing and jewelry!!). Streamed on CBC gem every Tuesday and sad I'll have to wait a while for more - because there will be more, right?!

Absolutely wonderful. Characters are real - actors wonderful - script witty/heartfelt with a social commentary unique to our southern understanding. Anne Lambe is luminous - Stacey Aglok MacDonald (created - written by) Alethea Arnaquq-Baril created by have created an irresistible series. Technically beautiful with exquisite cinematography. I am so proud of the producers - funding agencies and production team on every level imaginable. I wish for nothing but a big push worldwide so they can discover the common issues we all have. Most importantly North of North give us a chance to observe a culture we know little about. BRILLIANT.

As an Inuk woman, I never thought I'd see a show that represents us with this much care, heart and authenticity. North to North blew me away.

Our humor, our culture, the parkas, the beaded earrings, the traditional markings, it's all there and it's beautiful. I felt so seen. Every scene felt like home in a way I've never experienced from TV before.

I love this show so much. It's not just entertaining, it's important. It shows the strength, beauty, and complexity of our people.

I can't wait for the next generation to grow up seeing this kind of representation and feeling proud of who they are.

It's not just good, it's necessary. More Native shows like this, please!!! Our voices matter, our stories matter, and this proves it.
