Bad news for Kevin Costner it takes a lot more than briefly appearing in a Ken Burns documentary to know how to make an interesting doc. Movie. Aside from any possible financial investment Costner may have made he does not come across remotely interested in the topic. Instead of a craftily constructed script that breaths life into history Costner instead reads from one of those dusty history books with all the dread that most high schoolers feel about their history class. It does provide some mild humour listening to Costner struggle with pronunciations of first nation place names like the way he mispronounced Kekionga 3 different ways. I couldn't make it to the end of the first episode voluntarily. I can only imagine the only audience that watches this series in its entirety are Junior High Schoolers who have been forcibly locked in a classroom and made to watch it.

It might be a Chinese curse but Aline certainly lived in interesting times. Hers is a story that needed telling and they told it really well. Talk about a compelling drama! Most highly recommended to everyone whoever once bought into the myth of how our government operated and what is at their moral centre. We bought into lies and let them sweep their dirty secret under the rug.

Only flaw I thought worth mentioning was the casting choice of Vincent Gale as Sir John A. MacDonald didn't have much resemblance to speak of.

Well that's it for my review and here is 100 characters to fill up the requirement. Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-a-Dee- A. Hello Lamp post what ya knowing?

Seriously how did anyone say "Match Me Abroad" and not get laughed at out of the room? Referring to a woman as a broad might have flown 60 plus years ago but... If this is what Hollywood has to offer without SAG and the Writer's Guild then Hollywood should fall into the Pacific only to be reborn wherever the talent disappeared to.

It's actually pretty offensive. They are looking for a complete narrow view of what men and women from their respective country of choice are actually like. They are looking for a complete stereotype! It's actually pretty offensive and adds to the overall awkwardness of the show.
