Reviews

geordiesdad The first episode, as has been mentioned before, was excellent, with a little bit of everything. Sadly the writers ( if they were in face the same writers ) felt that if 1 teaspoon of excitement per episode was giving good results then 2 cups must be the formula for even better results. Like a lot of amateurish writing and game sequels, writers can't seem to resist 'bumping' up the formula percentages to in the mistaken belief that more is better. By episode three I was tearing out my hair in frustration as they bumbled their way from one ridiculous and preposterous situation to another culminating in a skyjacking.....yes...that's right.....a SKYJACKING....of a tiny, poorly equipped, backwoods airline in the far north. I gagged my way through a few more episodes but the 'plots', for want of a more appropriate and less rude word, were so fantastic and reused....they even recycled emergencies on supposed nearly-unknown landing strips....that I finally gave up in disgust. With all the appeal and inevitability of a Road Runner cartoon I'm amazed that this monstrosity made it through one season...never mind the three it miraculously landed. Somebody wasn't paying attention to the numbers methinks. Anyway.....don't waste your time with this crap unless you're really hard up for some airline drama....picture a cross between the Young and Restless and First Blood.......
markimel1 Well...I really like the show. It's very relaxing, laid back. It's interesting, and it gets better with every new episode...it just absorbs you more and more into it. It makes you read and research more about Canada, the Northwest Territories, Native peoples, DC-3 planes, De Havillands...If you like flying, don't miss this show. And if you need to relax and not take Diazepam...don't miss this show. :-)Season 1 was "exploring the territory" and trying to put it on the map, to see where it stands, so my opinion is that the next seasons will further expand the main storyline which was slightly underdeveloped in the first season, hence the 9 out of 10 from me. But, that's not a negative point, at all! The show has much potential, and I expect to see it fully developed in the future seasons. Cheers! :-)
Island Pooch I tried to give this show a try. It was painful getting through the second episode before I couldn't take it anymore. It is poorly cast, and the actors have little personality and look like they have never stepped foot outside of city concrete. The plot line is predictable, but that isn't even a negative compared to all its other faults. It lacks a sense of reality and believability in every way. The script is bad, and the delivery by actors sounds canned and sophomoric. Furthermore, there is nothing that resembles "Northern Exposure" except it has planes and is filmed in the north! I hate to be so harsh, but I recommend you take a pass on this bore fest, and opt for reruns of something better.
orion_moore The show has all of the basics for greatness. Mix a little out of your element in a fashion that reminds me a little of Northern Exposure with just a touch of Wings, I couldn't tell you why on that second part. Add two of Sanctuary's finest women Pascale Hutton and Emilie Ullerup. Mix it with a well played hometown hero who has lost his way. I did see Smoke Signals but, Adam Beach will always be Kicking Wing(Joe Dirt) to me. Top it all off with Kevin McNulty and stir well. All cooking metaphors aside Arctic Air is a great show. I'm always eager to embrace a new sitcom or comedy, I mean who doesn't love to laugh but, it takes a while for me to warm up to a show with a good amount of heart and warmth. Arctic Air pulls this and more off in stride. In just the first couple episodes I'm eager to see what the future holds next for these characters. I hope that this is just the beginning of show greatness and I'll be watching.
