Skymed

The medical/professional situations they dealt with could have made this an interesting show but it was more like some cheesy "reality" show where a bunch of horny drunk kids are having sex with anyone and everyone. Young, professional adults do not act like this in the real world. Poor acting, poor writing, overall a disappointing show to attempt to watch. It was difficult to maintain focus on any particular episode, can't imagine a situation where I would ever choose to watch this again. This show wasn't worth 600 characters but it's required so I'll fill the holes the same as the writers. Sex.. Sex.. More sex.

The nurses are full fledged nurses not budding as the description here says.

The medical procedures are far from accurate- you can't give an IM injection through a down jacket and three layers of clothes. Most nurses don't say HR for heart rate. HR is where you go when you're being written up.

The first half of the first season was good. Started to go downhill with more episodes.

The scenery is spectacular looking as are most of the cast members.

However this show would have you believe that 80% of the population is gay. And 95% of people cheat. There are more scenes of romance than there are scenes of medivacs.

All in all not a bad show but it's no ER or St. Elsewhere or even Grey's Anatomy.

I was very excited to watch the first few episodes and see the northern landscape and an attempt at showing the remoteness and isolation. The romantic melodramatic interludes aren't interesting. I find it odd that all the cast are young and confused yet heroic. Only one character, an Uncle is over 30 but we don't meet him until episode 5. I like how the show nightlight problems and issues in communities. I feel the the writers have run out of things to happen so they create mini romance interludes and these are not interesting. I enjoyed the episodes where they dealt with a crisis and helped out. I like hearing native languages spoken. I don't think the writers know whether to make this a northern Bay Watch or an adventure show.

But feeble writing. I had high hopes for this series-- Canadian production set in the North with many First Nations actors. It touches only lightly on some really important issues, and the interpersonal drama is sophomoric. I'd like to see the characters and their relationships with more depth than just a series of hook-ups.

Why are community people just background who seem to just mill around for the most part. Living where they do, there should be issues with water quality, costs of goods and services, and fuel. The corporate politics are right, but the investigations seem pretty feeble. I'm only at episode 5, so perhaps I'll have reason to improve my rating in a few more issues.

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.
