Maori? I take it, aired on the GRBC or "FNX" First Nation eXperience, aboriginal/native network that broadcasts on chan 19.1 here in Phoenix, Arizona. It's filmed entirely in nature, near the water and forests. I have not viewed every episode (I thought it was a single movie, apparently there are episodes) and in I assume Maori language. There are displays of old fashioned weaving of fibers from vegetable fibers, many "old" examples. One annoyance was hair, the characters had modern-ish hair styles, in my opinion, not QUITE authentic enough, but considering the series is really displaying Maori culture and mythology, I think it is "all right". Never being a big fan of "aboriginal film" , as I searched for something to watch( on broadcast TV over the air antenna )I could not change the channel once it landed on this series. Entertaining, engrossing in a way. Calming and interesting and lovely to watch. No English dialogue (good!)

We should all rise up and expose... Germans!!! I am not German, I know no Germans, I have no special feelings FOR Germans. I DO however, enjoy and seek out WWII-era films, even feel-good patriotic stuff- but this I hated. Hated! The dialogue I hated. Characters flat and nothing extraordinary marking them as individuals. The whole theme seemed to be to try and find, and expose, sneaky, dishonest killer Germans in their midst. I would not be surprised if it took one day to write this. After watching, I felt sorry for the German people. In the film I got NO hint that it was the evil of Nazism the survivors were against, but simply Germans, German nationality itself.

I am a "reformed prude", after living a very hedonist life, not unlike "Suzi" in episode one, so the "naughty" jokes, irreverent humor in EVERY episode can get a little old. We get it, penises are funny! Olds craving sex- Funny! Sigh.. aside from all that, the show itself IS interesting and catches your fascination. I cheered when the episode guests cheered. I laughed when they laughed, and almost cried when THEY cried.

"Ella", the cleaner with the very cool Swedish glasses has an accent that is exactly like Isabella Rosselini's and I found it pleasant to listen to. "Johan" is I think gay also (?) and a character! I love them all. I love the Swedish style sense and I think Americans are terribly curious about the whole Swedish thing. The show will help the viewer "Let Go" of their own anchors that hold them down. I myself have "red dotted" in my mind, several items in my own home that I need to Swedish Death clean.
