This is on my to-watch list. I love that show was filmed in Nunavut because you can't fake that perspective!

Yes! It made me feel warmer here in Vermont. I liked the wide range of actors and some of the gorgeous views. I also like that there are a lot of female characters and they seem to really be the anchors of this show so far. People's outfits are cool and it definitely made me want to keep watching, see how it all worked out.

I watched S1 tonight, and loved it! It represents the tension between white and indigenous people well. I loved the main and sub- story lines. I hope that there will be an S2 !!

My son and I sat down to watch one episode, and watched the first five. So good! It's light without being stupid or insulting.

"You are a perfectly adequate assistant." Burn?

"It's a bad case of seal finger." I'm dying to know what this is. Did the seal eat a finger? Or is it seal trigger finger?

WOW, DOESN'T NOTICE HIS WIFE COULD DROWN.
"Yes, I lost a seal, but what's a seal compared to a life?"... "You made me look like a freaking idiot." (And worse.) I HATE THIS GUY.

Meanwhile, new city boy not only cares if she drowns, he gets her 500 signatures!!!!

"It's the award for best bum-hopper." YUP, EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID ON THE TIN.

I KISSED MY DAD AND I LIKED IT
