Arctic Air

Well...I really like the show. It's very relaxing, laid back. It's interesting, and it gets better with every new episode...it just absorbs you more and more into it. It makes you read and research more about Canada, the Northwest Territories, Native peoples, DC-3 planes, De Havillands...If you like flying, don't miss this show. And if you need to relax and not take Diazepam...don't miss this show. :-)

Season 1 was "exploring the territory" and trying to put it on the map, to see where it stands, so my opinion is that the next seasons will further expand the main storyline which was slightly underdeveloped in the first season, hence the 9 out of 10 from me. But, that's not a negative point, at all! The show has much potential, and I expect to see it fully developed in the future seasons.

Cheers! :-)

I guess the first episode was alright. Maybe it will get better but I can't help comparing this show to north of 60. And compared to north of 60...well it doesn't really compare. Where are all the native actors? I saw Adam Beach and a few minor characters. I realize north of 60 was set in a small town but the cast was overall native and I liked that. There was also better chemistry between the actors. I don't like the main girl. She doesn't seem very real and her lines sounds a bit forced. The first episode was very predictable and a little boring. I was really hoping for something to rival north of 60, something really original. This show feels like an americanized attempt at something original and Canadian. I didn't feel that when I watched it. I hope it gets better, it has a lot of potential, I love Adam Beach but it feels fake. I feel like the rest of the characters really don't match up.

Arctic Air is a typical show that has a little bit of everything. Romance, Action, Family drama, culture and nature. I would classify the acting slightly above average, the stories quite entertaining and after 5-10 episodes you already feel like part of the family. First I didn't like the character of Bobby. Thought he does not represent the typical hero of a TV-series, but I got used to it. Perhaps because the acting got more convincing through the series. Always have to think of R2-D2 and C-3PO when it comes to Dev and Astrid. You cannot expect amazing special-effects from this kind of show but what it offers is satisfactory. Only from time to time some poor CGI-planes disturb the smooth impression of reality. I am actually very sad that the show was canceled after the third season. If it had continued, surely I would have followed the show through the next seasons.

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!

I can hardly wait for the next season, I thought the characters were perfect and the story themes were very good, 10 out of 10 for me, I have watched the show on netflix and therefore can watch 3 episodes at once. I enjoyed this series more than north of 60 because the adventure of aircraft and problems with contracts and such I find are two issues that make this show successful. I recognize Adam Beach but the others were unfamiliar to me, even though, since watching the show they are very suitable for the parts they play. It is always good to see a villain get his at the end even though it seems he is going to get away scot free. The love triangle between two of the main characters is great, never knowing if they will get together and when they get close something always seems to get in the way, somewhat leaving you on the edge of your seat.
