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!

I really enjoyed the first episode, from beginning till end. It was funny, happy & sad. It was the perfect combination, not too much of one or the other. It was a perfect blend. The acting in my opinion was great, and the story line was great as well. Many people are comparing it to other Northern shows: ie: Ice Pilots. This is not the case. Ice Pilots is a reality show. Arctic Air is a drama, and is not just about flying planes. There is an actual story line, a great one I may ad. Also, many northerners who live or have at least been to Yellowknife are being a little over critical with regards to some of the scenes in my opinion. This is a TV show. This is not real life. There are of course going to be non real settings and surroundings, manipulations etc. Hollywood does it all the time. Take New York Minute for example, filmed in Toronto Ontario. All in all Arctic Air is A lot better then what I was expecting. I am hooked after show one and I cannot wait to see the next episode.

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.

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 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.
