Ao Norte do Norte

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.

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.

It's amazing to see the far North appearing in a good show! The show's town is fictional and called "Ice Cove", but it is almost entirely filmed in the real-life far Northern community of Iqaluit, Nunavut (Canada).

North of North is cute, clever, and full of really likeable characters already, and it's only two episodes in, at time of this review. Excellently cast, and fantastic that the main character (Siaja) is played by Anna Lambe, who is herself an Inuk woman from Iqaluit.

Big appreciation for Inuit culture being well, genuinely, and just naturally repped throughout, from the language (spoken and written in parts here and there), clothing, womens' hand and facial tattoos, traditional games, and more. Traditional ways are blended with modern (colonial) ways, which is accurately what you will find in this part of the Northern Arctic and Subarctic region, today.

I'm really hoping this show sticks around; I'd love to see much more of this cast and this story!

This is a wonderful, joyous show! I heartily recommend it!

It is neither cookie cutter nor pablum. It is a joyful upbeat show with great likeable characters but it is not not lacking in human insight.

Although it shows us a culture that is not super familiar, the characters feel like friends. It does not shy away from some darker subjects but leaves us laughing. It is the kind of show the whole family can watch but it doesnt talk down to us.

These are humanly flawed and very loveable prople.

This is very good TV. It covers a lot of ground but doesn't overwhelm us.

I sure hope this show does another season!

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.
