North of North

I really love this series, the casting is great. I can truly identify with Siaja and the way she is treated by her husband. Wish I had been able to make a break when I was young like her. I love the story line with her father. It's good to see the actor who plays him, again. He gives such heart to the character of Alistaire. And, I really like the actor who plays Kuuk, Jeremy from SkyMed. I sure hope there will be more episodes, seems like it was just starting to get deep the last few episodes. It's so refreshing to see something new on TV that hasn't already been done a million times over. I love the mix of the youth with the seniors in the show. And the community feel. Also the length of each episode is a good length if you are just looking for something to watch when you don't have a lot of time.

As an Inuk woman, I never thought I'd see a show that represents us with this much care, heart and authenticity. North to North blew me away.

Our humor, our culture, the parkas, the beaded earrings, the traditional markings, it's all there and it's beautiful. I felt so seen. Every scene felt like home in a way I've never experienced from TV before.

I love this show so much. It's not just entertaining, it's important. It shows the strength, beauty, and complexity of our people.

I can't wait for the next generation to grow up seeing this kind of representation and feeling proud of who they are.

It's not just good, it's necessary. More Native shows like this, please!!! Our voices matter, our stories matter, and this proves it.

Absolutely wonderful. Characters are real - actors wonderful - script witty/heartfelt with a social commentary unique to our southern understanding. Anne Lambe is luminous - Stacey Aglok MacDonald (created - written by) Alethea Arnaquq-Baril created by have created an irresistible series. Technically beautiful with exquisite cinematography. I am so proud of the producers - funding agencies and production team on every level imaginable. I wish for nothing but a big push worldwide so they can discover the common issues we all have. Most importantly North of North give us a chance to observe a culture we know little about. BRILLIANT.

This show is a really well drawn piece. From the storyline,to the funny moments ,great music and awesome costumes this TV show screams quality. The acting is great even from the breakthrough actors. Of course 'Ben Hanscom' (Jay Ryan) and 'Chloe' (M. Rajskub)were great, but everyone else too. The lead actress is going places! I loved the "grandparents" storyline, it reminded me me of Rojelio's and Xiomara's from Jane the Virgin. The only notes:1)First episode is a little awkward,but I believe because it wants to introduce the characters first,then it gets awesome. 2) The guy that plays her ex husband looks the same age as her father and older than her mother but they are supposed to be high school sweethearts. Weird. Everything else perfect.

I'm thrilled this original show found its feet. Well-written, directed, and acted. The characters have a lovely blend of authenticity and comedy. Each episode has heart and humour. Well done, CBC! Keep commissioning these gorgeous nation-loving gems.

I don't feel the need to say a whole lot more. If you're new to the show and unsure, keep watching. You'll get hooked soon enough. It is delightfully quirky, unique in storylines, and some wonderful, uncomfortably awkward moments that push the stories forward. I also deeply appreciate an insight into the Inuit culture, especially from an everyday (albeit TV sitcom) point of view.
