Ao Norte do Norte

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!

Kinda like a more real northern exposure. Canadian wit, beauty and a world i have not ever seen depicted in a sitcom.

Not too corny, genuine characters.

2 eps in on cbc gem and it gets two caroboo antlers up and is in the running for The 2025 Beaver award for best new show

Think Kim's convenience with Fargo like cinematography.

And Gail the Snail from always sunny lands a prominent role.

First Nations Innu are represented most honourably.

I look forward to hearing what y'all think.

As an Inuk woman, I never thought I'd see a show that represents us with this much care, heart and authenticity. North to North blew me away.

Our humor, our culture, the parkas, the beaded earrings, the traditional markings, it's all there and it's beautiful. I felt so seen. Every scene felt like home in a way I've never experienced from TV before.

I love this show so much. It's not just entertaining, it's important. It shows the strength, beauty, and complexity of our people.

I can't wait for the next generation to grow up seeing this kind of representation and feeling proud of who they are.

It's not just good, it's necessary. More Native shows like this, please!!! Our voices matter, our stories matter, and this proves it.

I found very refreshing to watch a show that takes place in territories that we never see on screen (except maybe in sordid films about the far north). I loved discovering Inuk actors, the language, the music, the culture ... The story of this woman who finds herself stuck in her daily life and who seeks to build her own identity outside of her family is super interesting and is totally relatable. I'll remember a sweet and comforting show, we become attached to all the characters, in short, I loved it, and I will be waiting for season 2 ! (I'm going to listen to the playlist in more detail right now)

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.
