Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
wildwoodrose I was really looking forward to this "thriller" series. Especially with cast like Julianne Nicholson! The storyline started off as intriguing but fell very flat very quickly! The biggest issue I had with this garbage is that very few of the cast members were First Nations. You can't simply pile on loads of turquoise on an African American woman and try to pass her off as native! There are many, many great First Nations actors in this world. Casting really screwed this one as well as costume design! Give me a break! Now speaking of design....production design was brutal as well. Where did all of the money go? How many times do I have to see a huge city in the background when it was supposed to be a small community? I will not waste anymore of my time on this crap.
Diane Ruth There appears to be a trend in cable television drama that if a program is as unpleasant, ugly, nonsensical, and nihilistic as possible, viewers will feel they must try to understand its true greatness. With characters that are a long-winded as they are long-suffering, they must surely be saying something significant. Unfortunately, not true. Sometimes the human suffering and psychic pain is only felt by the audience while the characters go through meaningless motions. Empty words and soulless characters abound on The Red Road and the drama is as overcooked as the dialog and acting. Not to say the actors don't behave as if their suffering is real. It may well be. That of the audience certainly is authentic.
Adam Baehr Wow so I just finished watching the first season today and it was Superb. I mean the setting and the story plot were spot on and the cast was Awesome. I will say it's only 6 episodes long but that is good and bad because it will leave you wanting more but good in the sense that every episode is ramped up to ten in the suspense department. I loved the two main characters played by Martin Henderson who plays Harold Jensen the cop and family man and also his so called rival played by the Badass Jason Momoa who portrays Philip Kopus. I will say the entire cast did an Amazing job but the two main characters I mentioned definitely make it shine. I would tell anyone who loves drama/suspense shows to give this is a GO and just binge-watch this series. The second season actually is supposed to air the first week of April so in a couple of days so now is the perfect time to watch it.
dirigorobb This is a great show, with great acting. The only thing that is awkward is how they try to fit Lisa Bonnet in. I get it she is married to Jason, and they are the cutest couple, but her role in the series seams like it was thrown in as an afterthought, and cuts the flow of the show. It is darling though the love in Jason's eyes for her, but it sort of ruins my respect for the show because it brings to much real into Jason's character. In my opinion the show could have done without it. They are cute though...I hope in the future if she is involved they make her character more intriguing instead of a romantic filer. Other then that the show is awesome, and each of the cast look their roles perfectly.
