Wind at My Back

This is probably one of the best TV series ever. Find it on whatever channel your area may carry it. The previous reviewer was totally correct in their review. One interesting thing that I wanted to say was that I bought the 2 books that the series is based on. Although I enjoyed them very much they have NOTHING to do with the show. Not one character is even the same. But they were fun reads. The time periods were the same for both the books and the series. I wish they would do a reunion movie on a regular basis. The Christmas movie was a pleasant surprise. Too bad most of the main cast was not available to be in it for whatever reason.

This is a great family tv series! Sullivan Entertainment always brings such beautiful stories to life. My family & I enjoyed watching and rewatching all the episodes. The acting is so well done! The characters become dear to your heart and some of the more stand-offish characters even grow on you. This is a great series about family and getting through tough times.

Having worked an afternoon shift for many years, I never watched the series until the last year. I was caught up in the story so quickly due to the fabulous acting by all the actors. I was born in the early thirties to family of six who went through many of the experiences in the story. We lived in a small town, went to a parochial school and saw our only brother off to war by train. Our greatest pleasure was playing outside with the neighborhood kids, swimming in the lake, and listening to the radio. Watching Wind At My Back is a very nostalgic experience. Many memories surfaced, both good ones and bad, which enabled me to work through some of the painful ones with a very different perspective. It felt as if the actors were my family and friends living in my neighborhood. I really miss this series and feel so proud that it was Canadian. I'd love to see a reunion of all these lovable actors. The whole crew did an outstanding job and I thank them so much for enriching my life.

This is an excellent series!! Kevin Sullivan proves that he can make wonderful stories truly live. Set in the depression, this series gives you a real look into the hardships of this time period. The set is brought alive with an amazing story of a family who shows that their love and willingness towards each other can keep them together through trying times. The actors and actresses are also amazing and make this series what it is. I recommend this to everyone who wants to watch a story about love, hope, and strength. Great family series!

This is a wonderful series I've caught on INSP for the last 2 years. The acting is superb and the storyline, terrific. The main characters, Mae, her daughter Grace, and her daughter-in-law all portray wonderful character development over time. The children grow up before your eyes as well. It's heart-warming and full of vintage memories of very tough, yet good times - evoking similar stories my parents often told me of the Great Depression.

Light a fire in the fireplace on a cool autumn evening, sit back, put your feet up, and make the world go away for awhile; you won't be wasting your time.
