SkyMed

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 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.

I really like the setting of this show, a primarily indigenous presumably far-north area in Canada. I like that the characters are a range of personalities, backgrounds, and histories. There are characters who are people of color, who are gay, who are Black, who are white, who are indigenous. I'm sorry for the people here who find that mix too "woke", and not white enough for them. I think it adds a great deal to the show.

I don't particularly care, though, for the fact that the characters often don't have each other's backs, and do a lot of sniping at each other.

Other reviews have mentioned glaring inaccuracies in the medical pieces of the plot line, which I have no expertise to address, but it's something to be aware of if you watch this series.

There are also disconnections in the plots. Something will happen in the opening of an episode that clearly needs medical attention, then they cut to the opening credits and the incident is never mentioned again. Weird. The plots are primarily about the budding relationships among the various characters.

Lastly, a number of reviews compare this show to the Australian version - I agree that overall that show is better done.

A series that was decent enough,yet by no means perfect or even original.

It was clichéd,plotholes the size of Swiss cheese with unrealistic drama & over-the-top stories.

Casting to acting did seem ok,the cinematography was nicely done & the scenery was beautiful.

Although must say it was like they tried to check all the boxes,from medical scenarios being politically correct,relationships & so forth.

I feel as though medical shows have been overdone,regardless of where they take place from the sky or ground.

If you're bored & need something to watch,worth checking out but not a rewatch series.

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.
