Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

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.

darcox My interest in the show is a personal one...my 4x grandfather James Monkman was a stow away from England to the New Land in 1793. He landed at York Factory and was contracted with HBC as a seaman. He was 18. He married Mary Swampy Cree in 1804. Presently the Monkman Clan spreads across our Nation, as Métis, Status and Non-Status, and many who know nothing of their lineage and connection to this time. This show gives me a sense of what my ancestors endured in order to survive the harsh climate of this time in history. I am fascinated. Thank you for giving me somewhat of a reference to my personal history.Hiy Hiy

philip-taylor-ok Taking it to the absolute pinnacle of over the top acting.......come forward and take a bow,and come on down Evan Jonigkeit for your portrayal of Captain Chesterfield...................rarely have i seen such over the top unrestrained ...lets go BIG, NO BIGGER Acting, get a frigging grip...............subtlety is not within your performance ratio my friend

bnix-31318 Absolutely terrible. Historical inaccuracies abound. The plot is incredibly slow moving. Watching this show makes me wonder "How did the British ever get established in Canada." I watched the 1st five episodes hoping it would get better, it did not. The main British characters, Governor Threadwell, Lord Bolton, and Captain Chesterfield were so badly written they should have provided them with long black mustaches, that way they could have twirled the mustaches ala Snidely Whiplash. The supposedly likable characters were also poorly conceived and hopelessly unoriginal. The plucky Irish petty thief. The strong independent female Ale house proprietor thriving in a man's world. The strikingly attractive, but terribly fierce first nations character. The hulking and hairy Declan Harp half Cree and half Irish misunderstood strong antihero. He is viscous to the incompetent British but clearly really kind hearted and always willing to hear out the plucky Irish lad.
