Arctic Air

I truly enjoy Arctic Air. I like the actors and the characters they play. I am so glad that Canada is getting more and more Canadian television series. Don't take Arctic Air away. Please bring it back for many more seasons. The scenery is awesome, makes me want to visit the North West Territories and Yukon. I like the idea of using Canadian actors and actresses in this show as I do with shows such as Republic of Doyle and Murdoch Mysteries. I'm glad the actors who are in the USA focus (movies and series) are willing to come home and do Canadian shows. It helps to put Canada on the map in the entertainment world. I see more and more producers and directors making Canadian film. Thanks!

The show has all of the basics for greatness. Mix a little out of your element in a fashion that reminds me a little of Northern Exposure with just a touch of Wings, I couldn't tell you why on that second part. Add two of Sanctuary's finest women Pascale Hutton and Emilie Ullerup. Mix it with a well played hometown hero who has lost his way. I did see Smoke Signals but, Adam Beach will always be Kicking Wing(Joe Dirt) to me. Top it all off with Kevin McNulty and stir well. All cooking metaphors aside Arctic Air is a great show. I'm always eager to embrace a new sitcom or comedy, I mean who doesn't love to laugh but, it takes a while for me to warm up to a show with a good amount of heart and warmth. Arctic Air pulls this and more off in stride. In just the first couple episodes I'm eager to see what the future holds next for these characters. I hope that this is just the beginning of show greatness and I'll be watching.

I spent the first four years of my life in my Dad's plane as he worked the coastal and inland areas of British Columbia. So when I heard of Arctic Air, I was really intrigued. The characters are very believable and the scenery is outstanding. I also love the humour and characters, particularly Adam Beach's Bobby. Finding that the path to yourself usually winds through your past, and shows you the future. It might not be pretty, but Bobby has a lot of learning to do. What I really enjoy is seeing regular folks working and living their lives without glamour, flashy costumes or unrealistic scenarios. Seems very true to life and respectful of the North West Territories. Lots of contrast between the locals and the wannabes. And the planes. Very nice to see DC3's and the lore associated with them. I'll definitely keep watching!

It's hard to fault this show! There is a broad range of are believable and personable characters, portrayed with solid acting. I appreciate the understatement and subtlety with which the tension is built, which gives the few action scenes a lot of impact. The story lines feel fresh, and each episode has a distinct character.

The premise clearly borrows heavily from Ice Pilots (I wonder if Buffalo Airways are actually involved?), but it hasn't taken long to grow into its own identity. This is now one of my favourite shows of the last few years.

Deserves at least a 7, and a renewal!

This show is a prime example of what Canadian television should be. Interesting and action-packed story lines with well developed and unique characters. The balance of comedy and drama is well done, and the show covers topical issues in an informed and nuanced manner. The acting is top notch, and showcases some lesser-known Canadian talent. My only complaint is that the show often tries to pack too much into one episode- we don't need 3 or 4 stories at once, especially when the main plot is already quite interesting!
