Frontier

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.

The first season was awesome!!! The second and third seasons were ok but the series was left unfinished. Also the night scenes (which there were a lot of) were hard to see and know what was going on. There was was much more that they could have done to make this show better!

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!

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 watched the first season (6 episodes) and it was entertaining enough so no regrets, but I think I'll move on to other shows. There's just not anything special about it.

The setting of British-Canadian fur trapper era is the most interesting part of it. Unfortunately the plot line is mostly the same old chase-catch-release with some interpersonal drama mixed in.

The writing and plot twists are all fairly obvious, nothing that really surprises and the romantic matchmaking can be seen from a mile away. The sets feel like they're on a sound stage about 80% of the time and the acting gets overly dramatic at times like watching a play.

It's one of those "pretty good" shows that are not quite good enough in the ocean of content that is now being made available.
