What can be stated about this program that hasn't previously been stated? It's terrific from all aspects. The writing, direction, acting, flow of the storylines, and feel of an oft-forgotten culture is tremendous. I felt that that the particular efforts of Devery Jacobs and Paulina Alexis have been amazing. They're both playing quite difficult roles, and they're nailing them!

Some of what I greatly appreciate this show is how deeply-ingrained the culture of First Nations peoples are into the storylines. This show exists on so many levels at once, and all done so well, it's truly astounding. It's quite the achievement in television. Most importantly, the writing doesn't gloss over life events that affect us the most. This show encapsulates a tremendous sense of loss on the behalf of many characters, b/c it's a fact of life on many Native American reservations. The fact that the writers don't create a singular episode from it, but instead, use it as an overarching storyline is to be commended.

This show can be difficult to watch at times, b/c it's so powerful, but the lives of the characters are important and deeply-rooted in a community that matters. This is the type of television we should be watching, not b/c it's so fantastic, but b/c, it's _so_ important to how we relate to one another.
