North of 60 is in my opinion, is the best of Canada. Such talent and heart, real life with real life problems. It is a "staple" of life for so many people. We have been fans since the beginning, just happens to be the year we got married and we still watch as often as possible. If there is any doubt, then visit the North of 60 Facebook page and see for yourself.
I've watched this series from its first episode in 1992 to its final episode in 1998 and I'm glad that I did because it was so well produced and everything. Of course, it was pretty much an all-Native cast with a few white actors/actresses who fit their roles in the show perfectly. The whole series along with the 4 movie sequels were all filmed in Bragg Creek, Alberta however they could have just as easily filmed the series up in actual Dene territory in NWT if they wanted. Its not clear to me why they chose to film it down in southern Alberta.
But anyways......... all in all, an excellent series with superb sequel movies to go with it.

Great Canadian series! I have watched the entire series three times, and two of the movies. Looking forward to seeing the other three movies. I rate this with that great show The Beachcombers.
I personally love North of 60 it is dramatic, but is funny at times and it deals with real situations that happen on dene reserves.
I believe that this is a truly entertaining program and that if you haven't checked out this series that is now in syndication you don't know what you are missing.
This cast is extraordinary and the show deserves the praise that it does.
This show was filmed in Bragg Creek, Alberta and the scenery is breathtaking
I have learned a lot about the dene people through the program and I think it deserves 5 stars *****

I haven't seen this for many years. I live in ND and we used to get one Winnipeg channel here (CBC). I recorded the series and I think I've seen every episode. Last I checked they didn't even have it on DVD. I wish there was a way to see it because it's a very good and unique drama about people in the far north of Canada.

- TriviaOne of the first Canadian TV series to bring up the topic of residential schools. Residential schools for indigenous Canadian children, often religious schools in nature, existed well into the mid 1990's, and were often breeding grounds for abuse and cultural erasure. On June 11th, 2008, Canada's Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, publicly apologized to Canada's Indigenous Peoples for the IRS system, admitting that residential schools were part of a Canadian policy on forced Indigenous assimilation.
