Acting Good

Terrible!!! Awful !!! I find it very hard to believe that the network think this is a good representative of our First Nations. There has GOT to be better than this. Lets find a plot and stories line to reflect correctly the life of First Nations.

The actors are either whining, swearing or screaming at each other. The plot of the few episodes have been childish and reflects poorly on First Nations. It takes all the stereo types that some people have had regarding how First Nations live and placed them on the screen. I agree with another review that the commercial sponsors will be pulling out soon ...that is if they value their product.

This show is hilarious, I am saying that as an indigenous person from Manitoba, so much relatable humour to what happens within our communities. Also the use of our language is really great too. It's so nice to have a sitcom that's made about us and for us after years of watching shows like Friends, or Big bang theory yes they are good but where is the indigenous representation.. Acting Good has this tenfold. Sorry to the folks out there who say it's terrible and racist.... Give your head and privilege a shake. No body said anything when Jack Nicholson told a black man to "think white and get serious" in as good as it gets (which is one of my favourite movies) ... or the years and years of indigenous appropriation, or cowboys and Indians women in television. Or the way indigenous people have been portrayed in cartoons up until recent years.

What I'm trying to say is this show is spot on as far indigenous humour goes and the happenings in indigenous communities. The show might embellish situations a bit but for me that just adds to funniness of it all.

Supper funny and relatable.

There's absolutely no reason to watch this rubbish.

The producers obviously took advantage of the complaints about a lack of IPOC on television to pitch this dreck to the networks and the fools at CTV bit on it even though they had to have known it was a stinker.

It's so bad it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out the network had to pay the sponsors.

Why this wreckage qualifies as a comedy is anybody's guess; the alleged writing is juvenile and I would say the humour is forced expect there is zero humour, the characters are unlikeable and the actors playing them are, to be charitable, wooden.

As others have indicated a negative rating would be more appropriate for this mess.

I can tell that a few of the negative reviews were probably written by a bunch of white people who have never experienced living in an indigenous community. I used to be the "Brody" in Aklavik way up in NWT and this show is so relatable to my experience of Ak and the wonderful community and friends I've made up there. This show makes me miss Aklavik more than I normally do and the characters are so relatable and endearing. I honestly hope it gets renewed as I was looking forward do a new epi every week when it was airing on cable. I love the humor and jokes and I'm worried it about its renewal as not everyone gets it. Get it renewed I need a new season !!

If you wish to witness "awful" for your self, do it rather quickly because otherwise I would expect the commercial sponsors will pull the plug on this dull comedy series before a half a dozen episodes ever get to air.

The character ensemble are all foul mouthed non descript First Nations who all appear wearing lumberjack coats and live in the fictional small town of Grouse Lake First Nation in Northern Manitoba. The series main star is comedian Paul Rabliauskas as a young First Nations man who returns home to live in his small reserve community in northern Manitoba and resurrect his relationship with his former love interest following a failed attempt to establish himself in Winnipeg.

This would be a good series to show behind prison walls as a way to force life time repeat criminals to be on their best behavior and get the heck out of prison to stop their torture of having to watch anymore episodes of this awful series.

I would hazard to guess that it may be the Canadian government who has provided financial support to initiate this series which is just another example of our government wasting tax payers money once again.

I rate this bore of a show a 1 out of 10 IMDb score and I would rate it a minus score if IMDb allowed for a lower score than 1.
