Acting Good

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.

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.

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.

As an Indigenous person, there's not much more I dislike creatively then the 'couldn't make it anywhere else, got to go back to the rezzzz' but this is what they went with. Not the greatest message to send to youth who live in fly-in First Nations but I will leave that there.

I believe this show is currently starting production on season three so in hopes that someone on the show might read this - I would love to see improved writing and development of Indigenous women and girls on this show and possibly even some positive representation of Indigenous women because I've been less than impressed with what this show has done in that realm so far.

Not even Tina Keeper could save this awful attempt at Indigenous humor. Whoever wrote this crap should be ashamed of themselves. This is NOT how it is in a fly-in reserve. Trust me, the overweight actor who's attempting to be Chris Farley is just not funny as his annoying antics seem to obscure the poor acting and accents of the other err...actors. So many great indigenous based shows are coming out and then this one just ruins everything and put the culture back more years. For future reference, use actors from the north and not these wannabes and has-beens. The only thing accurate is the chief of the reserve. That's a pretty accurate rendition of a reserve anywhere.
