SkyMed

I think a lot of user reviewers are mocking the diverse cast. I know I'm not the target audience since I like more action and less relationship drama. True, it's a young cast and some of the acting needs more polishing and experience. The scripts seem to be improving which is good IMO. I'm at ep6 watching right now. It's interesting to me to see the indigenous culture surviving after centuries of colonization. I'm hoping the season finale is as good.

I enjoy shows that locate in the Northwest , Alaska and now Manitoba but am getting very tired of shows trying to be social correct and hitting us over the head with ethnic drama - almost every Aftrican American that lives in Manitoba works for SkyMed - what is wrong with that picture - it is like Martin Luther King giving a racial equality speech in Sweden - aside from that I am having a problem with the chemistry between the characters - it is at best edgy and at worst non existent - there is no obvious connection and the socially correct mixed relationship in episode #1 was ill timed, poorly done and unnecessary - I am going to watch another episode because of the scenery and story and not because of the characters.

There is an Australian series called Royal Flying Doctor Service. Same premises, but the Australian is so much better. If I were you I'd skip this one and watch Royal Flying Doctor Service instead.

I really like the setting of this show, a primarily indigenous presumably far-north area in Canada. I like that the characters are a range of personalities, backgrounds, and histories. There are characters who are people of color, who are gay, who are Black, who are white, who are indigenous. I'm sorry for the people here who find that mix too "woke", and not white enough for them. I think it adds a great deal to the show.

I don't particularly care, though, for the fact that the characters often don't have each other's backs, and do a lot of sniping at each other.

Other reviews have mentioned glaring inaccuracies in the medical pieces of the plot line, which I have no expertise to address, but it's something to be aware of if you watch this series.

There are also disconnections in the plots. Something will happen in the opening of an episode that clearly needs medical attention, then they cut to the opening credits and the incident is never mentioned again. Weird. The plots are primarily about the budding relationships among the various characters.

Lastly, a number of reviews compare this show to the Australian version - I agree that overall that show is better done.

A series that was decent enough,yet by no means perfect or even original.

It was clichéd,plotholes the size of Swiss cheese with unrealistic drama & over-the-top stories.

Casting to acting did seem ok,the cinematography was nicely done & the scenery was beautiful.

Although must say it was like they tried to check all the boxes,from medical scenarios being politically correct,relationships & so forth.

I feel as though medical shows have been overdone,regardless of where they take place from the sky or ground.

If you're bored & need something to watch,worth checking out but not a rewatch series.
