The visuals in this movie are stunning, The premise and the acting I have no quibble with at all , The problem is that like so many movies and tv programs there is nothing subtle about the sex which ultimately detracts both from the fact that unlike Frankenstein's monster Bella fights against loneliness and wins it the how of that or the how it is portrayed I found over the top, Themes that are of critical importance -especially in the US where no matter what progress has been made on paper that can be swiped away should have benefitted from the visuals and acing but instead the fact that so much is not subtle detract from them , If I had not been playing a timed game competitively that I started when concerns it might run to over the top began I would not have watched it to the end, It is like when an author shows great promise in chapter one in even the how they write and then opts to throw a gift few have away,. In a movie that does so many things well you wan the needed messages to use that to strengthen the odds people see them and talk about them not to feel maybe a bit reluctant to even talk about the show at all Suitable for audience who would never think of renting or streaming things without a lot of academy awards and interludes between what the seek to spice things up, A waste of a clear amount of care in everything else. Even the minor parts are done well, I'm not that visually inclined due to it being the bit I will not remember unless there is a math to it , but it was not just stunning but perfect for the issue. The looking down on high on dying babies makes the global wealth inequality and how we go about not solving it but allowing some to feel they have done their part is perfect

The premise generates predictable humour of a kind I really dislike. An ongoing joke at the title character's expense who implausibly never learns from any of it nor grows. Some people like it but I won't insult children by calling it juvenile beyond it did remind me of the kind of situations and humour in books for kids ages8 to ten or so. We live in an era of so much content so unless you know immature comedy is your thing just move on.

While their are some of the usual inaccuracies the plot and acting are excellent. A pleasant surprise. The characters are fully fleshed from the leads downwards. It is one of the best series I have watched and I went into it expecting quite the opposite. You won't regret the time spent watching it.

It is great to see older women portrayed as very much a part of things. Two very different women thrown together by an unusual means. While there was a tiny moment when I questioned why it makes them stick with each other that was easy to forget with the situations created and the excellent dialogue.

I had reservations due to the game series thing but they were so firmly put to rest. It's very well done portraying a reality both entirely like ours and yet like it. Superb acting and dialogue. One of the best things I watched this year. Just in case you get confused by the non-linear bits I am going to say they are in there hopefully helping some people enjoy it more based on those who gave the shoe a one due to this. No need for an enduring confusion to happen. I think it's a difficult story to tell faithfully while preserving a good dramatic pace if it were made linear. So just a head's up .

I have ASD myself and most portrayals of it in shows and movies fail to show growth or are unrealistic in other ways. Having mentored children I thought it was very well done that the benefits of that come up in the show . Although it was probably less nerve-wracking with me given I worked with medically and seriously physically disabled kids. It does make it realistic though that it is stressful for multiple people avoiding the pitfall of showing them as so unrealistically wonderful no worry happens. That woven into and around the story of Joe we see other older disabled youth making moves towards independence again with it portrayed realistically as far as parental readiness and concern. I wish there were more episodes as genuine with elements that ring very true is sadly rare when depicting autism .

Thought I'd canceled Disney was about to get cranky and then I saw Little Mosque on the Prairie . It's a great show. Smart and well done I've never been to Sask. but it rings true to the way those who live in small place interact with each other. There's a lot to likr. Thanks CBC

It was a pleasure to watch a show where every character was very fully formed. There's nothing shallow or poorly thought out here leaving the ending even though you know when you start that it has a far too finite number of shows. still the ending comes too soon. A lot of North American created drama that involved the justice system is repetitive and 15 seasons later the key players not very developed. I don't know why we can't see more shows like this other than the reviews spoke guess.. I don't give that many 5 star reviews other than because I know as a principle reviews are more likely if people disliked something so it may actually look like I do if I mostly make a point of reviewing ones I enjoyed. It's a great series but it did leave me feeling the same way a short story was where I wanted more and there was no more ( a spin off not withstanding.)

It'S a really good series with good character development with good representation. I like that it tackles some of the challenges of Indigenous reality including being cut off from your heritage. In the odd things to appreciate category I mentioned just a few days ago that given the sheer number of current adults who have been in cadets that it is on the odd side that it never comes up in Canadian programs. While it sometimes is referred to in a confusing way it can only help that people wind up aware of the many skills Cadets Canada has on offer including of course in Air Cadets learning to fly but the other forms are good too. I wish there were more than 9 episodes as I have come to care about the characters and how they will work through their issues A very minor quiibble would that Imperial is used in situations where neither medical not flight staff would use it. I get that programs want the potential to wind up on US tv but as everything is calculated in kms it would be bad protocol and potentially unsafe to mix in miles. Whether reading a map or calculating fuel there is just no way that they would be using miles. Medical types would have had to take sciences and that abandoned Imperial even before the White Paper on Canada's baffling state of semi-metric Not that the paper saw it going down that way It seems minor but another wise captivating series would be more so if every time this happens it isn't jarring you out of your watching the show and enjoying it to wondering why they are using units that they really would not have. Hope there are more to come. Well done CBC on another good drama.

The characters are complex enough in a consistent way. The plots were even nice and different from other procedurals I kind of wish I had seen it earlier as 3 seasons of a good procedural isn't really enough when other once good ones are in eternal mode. Worth watching for sure.
