Nope, this aint it chief...............................

This show was great for educating people on the 60's scoop. I grew up in northern saskatchewan in the 90's/2000's and I had heard about this event but didn't know much of the details. This show was great at showcasing how this event affected families. It really draws you in and helps you understand how heartbreaking and tough it was for everyone affected by it. Just imagine the government coming into your home and taking your children and breaking up your family, with laws in place that made it practically impossible to get that family back together....it's terrifying. Utimately it's a show about love and finding ones home, most of the characters grab you in some way and make you feel their hurt and struggle. This isn't a 'white people are evil and we should blame them for everything' show, it's a show about how the government came into peoples lives and made assumptions and decided on what was best for a group of people that were just trying to peacefully live their lives. No freedom, no remorse for the families, no care for others, just fear. It also shows the beauty of mutiple types of family, the jewish mother and little bird family in this are great and really shows how great things can be if everyone just cared for each other.

I really dont like being negative, I actually try to find positives about things people dont like in movies and tv shows that get negative reviews. But with this show I found it difficult, I could only push myself to watch maybe 3 or 4 episodes before I had to stop torturing myself. It's like it was made to serve some weird fanfic fantasy someone had in their head. Lots of unnecessary nudity, and the characters are nothing like their source material counter parts. The story doesnt follow the source material either, which I always found this to be so disrespectful to the original people who creates universes and stories like this. Its like the director and people involved in something like this are saying "yah your story is cool but I can make it better".....which they didn't. Its like if the original star wars got remade but everyone was naked half the time and luke skywalker wasn't the kind person who sees the good in everybody but rather someone who just wants to only do things that will benefit him and his only drive is to be selfish. Thats how they butchered masterchief and the story here lol its not masterchief, it really isnt. The actor may wear the costume and have his name but if you don't act like the character you are supposed to be playing then who are you truly playing? A new character is the answer to that question. It really is truly a shame they wasted this opportunity. If you enjoy this show then keep watching, its all good...do your thing. But its a shame you never got to see this amazing story in its true glory.
