Series started out OK & I had been looking forward to the 3rd season. However, I quickly lost interest after the first couple episodes. It was too disjointed for me. One messy, unbelievable situation after another was presented in an overly dramatic fashion. Too bad, there were some interesting bits and pieces but no overall coherence.
I can't believe it's been cancelled. I thoroughly enjoyed this series, and I thought the acting, writing, and directing were all on point. Sad to see that it won't continue.
Frontier is an extremely entertaining show, as long as you don't compare it to other shows (i.e. GoT, Vikings, etc)! So what if the accents aren't great & it's not absolutely historically accurate, if you just turn your brain off and take it for what it is and that's an action packed thriller where Jason Momoa is terrific as the lead!
Frontier is so much better than I expected. While it's not the best show I've ever seen it's definitely one of the most underrated shows I've seen. Jason Momoa is absolutely fantastic here. It takes place in Canada during the fur trade of the 1700's. It follows Declan Harper (Jason Momoa) as he tried to make his living through the fur trade. He's an outlaw leading a campaign against Hudson's Bay Company, who has a monopoly on the fur trade. The company will literally do anything to maintain its stranglehold on the fur business and is out to get rid of Declan Harper. It's a very entertaining show that you'll have a good time watching.
Particularly if you are a fan of Jason Momoa, this show is worth checking out. If you like seeing examples of colonial-era British forces getting stood up to, frontiersmen doing frontier stuff, First Nations tribesmen doing their best to survive against European encroachment, and cool looking costumes and settings, then it's worth checking out. It's not for the faint of heart, however. The fights are violent and bloody and there is plenty of torture and abuse of women and PoC by Europeans.

- TriviaA central element in the story is the Hudson's Bay Company. This was one of three such enterprises of the British Empire; the other two being the British East India Company, which operated in and around the Indian subcontinent, and the Moscovy company, which focused on Russia and the region to the south, which includes modern day Iraq and Iran. The role of the colonies was to strengthen and enrich the British Empire, and these enterprises were created by the crown specifically for this dual purpose. The military element was there not only for protection of British interests, but for the enforcement of the will of the company and, by extension, the crown.
