Brian Markinson and Jessica Matten in Tribal (2020)
In an effort to protect themselves from media backlash, the Justice Department forms a task force to investigate the largest scandel in the city's history, a tomb full of murdered Indigenous bodies. Crime continues to escalate while Sam and Buke try to uncover who is responsible for the tomb. A white poacher is found hanged on a reserve, an Indigenous teen goes missing following a protest at a railroad blockade, and a vigilante group forms to fight back against police violence. The traumatic effects from the discovery of the tomb and the memory of Buke's shooting collide, affecting Sam and Buke's relationship and putting the future of the Tribal partnership in jepopardy.

    A different take on endemic institutionalized racism!

    Reading the reviews and following up on the naysayers through some quick net searches reveals their blatant racism, no dog whistle, since Trump it is out there for all to see.

    This show shows some guts showing us the seedier side of First Nation life juxtapositioning that with the complete lack of interest or caring by the general public. The indifference to indigenous deaths either through drug addiction or homicide as shown through the very real characters in the show is very telling.

    Obviously shot on a tight budget but the creator has given us a real gem of a show. With a bigger budget and some fancy CSI like props this would have been a 10 out of 10.

    As it is it is a solid 7 and I await he rest of the series with anticipation.

    12 reviewers that gave it a 10 have only this one review!

    The dishonesty that the fact of at least 12 reviewers giving this show a 10 (didn't look past 12 so there could be more) is clearly apparent.

    I am going more with the 1 rating as this show lets anyone with an IQ of 100 or more down like a lead pipe.

    The acting and writing are pedantic at best. Time and time again shows that have enough in the budget to hire good writers and good actors fail to do either. Ot maybe it is teh bad directing. Somwtimes a good director can squeeze talent out of people that don't know how themselves. Not in the case of this series.

    It is an insult to Indiginous community and every one's intelligence.

    Important innovative fusion on tribal/metro issues

    At first we are taken aback by the soap-opera, rather amatuerish production values of this police series. It has a home movie feel to it much of the time, the editing is a bit lame, the actors often a bit stiff. But it will grow on you. The actual story is about a new young woman, an indegious native woman from a nearby reservation in some metropolitan city that is not named. She is the new chief of the tribal law enforcement division. And she is just fine. A beautiful and talented young actress, she is the root that carries the series along, with her salty, semi-broken old detective partner, a white guy who is not happy. He grows on you also. They bring an in your face narrative about and with real and actual indigenous actors. The story telling is authentic and to the point about real crimes in Indian Country. The actual story telling is very good. Give it a chance. Everyone gets better as the series progresses. Surprise yourself and actually learn something about Native Tribal peoples and the corrupted, flawed police and political people involved.

    Ricky Gray

    Watched the first episode. It was pretty good. What made it good is the character Ricky Gray., Anthony Timpano. Played the character very well and very believable. Well done Anthony! Needs to be on more episodes not just one!

    Another hit coming from up there in Canada

    I seem to like the cop shows that Canada puts out. I love the plot of this show. I get to watch the beautiful Jessica Matten in another series. And who would have thought Brian Markinson could play a character I wouldn't like? Lol. I think this is the first role of his, that I've seen him in, playing a "bad" character. Or rather an unlikable character.

    I had known ahead of time how his character would be. And he plays it perfectly. Can't wait to watch the rest of the season.
