Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

shannonmblakely I really like this series. Too many shows have borderline porn scenes and I appreciate this series keeps the story going without showing naked women all the time. I love the actors and seeing an area and time that is not over done. Most important in a series is a good 'bad guy' and this one has a lot of characters to love/hate/fear.

Charles Richardson I really wanted to like this as it's based on real world events and it's based in Canada and is also set in a very interesting time , so it has all the qualities of a excellent historical drama but sadly it chose to ignore them. If Dick Van Dykes cockney accent in Mary Poppins made you cringe then Captain Chesterfield Evan Jonigkeit will make you want to pull you ears off and he is only slightly worse than Zoe Boyle Scottish accent which makes Mel Gibson seem like a local from the highlands. It get worse as I felt it was bound to improve but it just get silly as all the English are evil pantomime characters who just run at the main Character Declan Harts musket like suicidal lemmings. If you have time to spare and you don't mind comedy accents , people in red coats who blindly ignore all military training and just wait to be shot and you want to watch a program that takes a really intresting historical narrative and makes it look like a Carry on Film without the humour, you will love this but sane people won't. I've seen worse ( I just watched the latest Dirk Gently) but thankfully not often.

sma907 Pros: Nice sceneryGood production valuesCons: Shallow, predictable scriptsLaughable French accentsTired stereotypes of the BritishThe writers seem to think that Hudson Bay is called "Hudson's Bay"

meneermalik-1 I live in Canada and ventured to James Bay and I love history....so it's somewhat interesting to me only because through watching the show I ended up researching a bunch of things about that time period. That being said. haha. I wanted to like this show (and I do) but it's really just something to watch while I'm doing other things. 6 episodes a season with 2 out so far isn't a big commitment too. Blasted through the series in a few days. The biggest problem for me which instantly takes me out of the moment or the story is the teleportation that seems to take place when they travel from the north (which I think they actually don't mention but it would have to be on James Bay or Hudson Bay) and Montreal. It is so ridiculous. "Ok I just got here but I'll going back to Montreal tonight". Cut scene - the next day (seemingly) ok I'm in Montreal but I forgot something up is Fort James so I'll be heading back out shortly". This is a voyage that would have taken weeks if not months to undertake and one character feels that travelling from the north to Montreal to sell a few pelts is totally fine? What?! There would have been trading posts that he could have sold those too without making a trip to Montreal. Another problem - They travel between the North and Montreal like it's two blocks down the road (as mentioned). No one ever carries any provisions, packs, etc to make this long trip. They're basically dressed up like they're taking the dog for a walk down the street in a manner of speaking.Also....canoes for fur traders were massive. You see them supposedly transporting fur in these 16 foot long canoes when they're suppose to be transporting mega quantities of fur. They would need thousands of canoes (really)...just doesn't make sense. GOOD STUFF. There's potential here for something decent. it's not too late. Costumes are great. The lighting is fabulous actually. The story is super interesting though I think the writing is missing out on a lot of interesting story/plot lines. Acting for the most part is good. BOTTOM LINE - If you're looking for a light, fluffy series to kill some time and that's decent this will do the job. If you're looking for a jaw dropping, leave you at the edge of your seat type thing....you won't like this.
