It took a few episodes to settle in to this, but I got totally hooked! Kristin Kreuk is a fine actress and I liked the character of Joanna. Alex Carter ( I loved him in Black Harbour) boy, can he do a good nasty b-tard! Good plot with characters you can actually care about. Give me more!

This is what more Canadian TV should be like! The story is well delivered by the strong cast. The locations are beautiful - it's nice to see a show that actually had real scenes outside rather than always in a studio. I can't wait for more!
This is a legal show with a personal touch with difficult themes such as betrayal, loss and abuse but not presented in too heavy a way.
I find the over emotive behaviour that occasionally arise irritating but otherwise an easy to connect with and very watchable series.

For being filmed in small town Manitoba and using many locals for numerous roles; it is surprisingly well done.
Great story and even touches on some taboo topics to do with white vs indigenous history in Canadian Prairies

Took a couple of episodes to get into it but once I was I enjoyed the series. It was like reading a book that you really get into. It is a mystery about how the girls acquired their strange symptoms, then secrets from the past become uncovered and the characters become real with relationships and emotions.
There is a strong cast with great acting.
Eagerly anticipating the next episodes!!
