The Porter

The story is excellent, the acting is superb, the CGI - is pathetic.

Every mini series of the CBC's I've watched is the exact same - great actors, great story, but the stage/CGI looks like a grade school production. . .

I thouroughly enjoyed the first episode, the historical accuracy is wonderful because I feel that there's definitely a room for genre that's partially educational. I'm an immigrant to Canada and always enjoy learning what things were like a century ago without getting a history lesson if you know what I mean. (Murdoch Mysteries style!)

I agree that cinematography is a bit dark at times but I think it reflects aactual nature of the conveyed environment-you didn't exactly have lots of bright lights in illegal establishments.

This show has great cast, writing, directing and I'm excited to see the rest of the season. We need more television like this.

Amazing piece of Canadian history . The Porter series does an amazing job of showcasing the triumphs of the Canadian Porters and the railways of Canada . Amazing cast and story line. Thoroughly engaging .

I recognize how hard this struggle was for fairness & equality, but I kept hoping there would be some positive results & Justice. The perpetrators seemed to go unpunished constantly. I sincerely hope the storyline demonstrates Justice is served in future episodes.

I'm not unrealistic about this topic, but show us some evil gets punished.

The story is ok but the filming is too dark. It needs better lighting. I doubt I will continue watching. Dark filming seems to be the trend these days. In some programs you can't even tell what is happening.
