I've seen the previews. I'll tune in to see how it is.

Looks to have some potential. Thanks!

Well that left a decent impression, very interesting.

Outstanding book. The preview reveals a good cast. The costumes are excellent. And my Canadian wife will likely enjoy the Canadian focus. It's on my list.

This originated from a novel, outlined here on wikipedia.

I was not aware of the ultimate poor treatment of native Americans by the Canadian government, taking their children away to educate in government schools.

I am puzzled about the "deforestation." I understand that there are more trees growing today in NOrth American than there were before the first Europeans arrived.

I thought it was okay. I am intrigued enough to watch the next two episodes. That said, I generally lose interest in these type of shows after a couple of weeks.

I liked it enough to watch the rest of it.It helps that 17th cen.New France is my primary period of interest right now.Came along at the right time for me.

I really enjoyed this.Have watched all 6 episodes with 2 more to go.David Thewlis has been excellent as the most interesting character.

Halfway through so far, love it! Costumes, casting, plotting, performances, all too notch.

Watched the last 2 episodes and thought they were very good but left too many open ends.

Does anybody know if there will be a season 2? I really hope so.

The village of the show was put up for sale.That's not a good sign.

I was hoping they would do a season 2 and maybe improve the weak points but alas not to be.
