Blackstone is a Canadian television series, which airs on APTN and Showcase. Written, created, directed and produced by Canadian producer Ron E. Scott, the series began filming its eight episodes, plus a pilot, in 2010 in and around Edmonton, Alberta. The second season has concluded and a third season of the series is in development. Blackstone follows the lives of Indians on the Blackstone Indian reserve. The story is told from an Aboriginal point of view and according to Scott, “Blackstone is relevant and relational in an Aboriginal story world, with universal themes and conflicts that are not only relatable to some First Nations out there today, but also to the world of politics and power in general. Nathaniel Arcand, Justin Rain and Carmen Moore are three cast members from Blackstone who also starred in the 2010 film Two Indians Talking. Other cast members include Eric Schweig, Andrea Menard, Michelle Thrush, Roseanne Supernault, Steven Cree Molison, Ashely Callingbull, Michael Holden and Gordon Tootoosis.

devonmmunn I started watching this show after I saw it in the see also section of the Redfern Now wikipedia page saying it deals with similar issues, although this show does differ from Redfern Now (as Redfern Now is a contemporary show while Blackstone is a crime drama with political intrigue)While the pilot starts very shoddy and shaky, it overall gets better. I was invested in the story and the characters. I cared about what happened to them, Season 1 was full of tension and stakes, having me in the edge of my seat.Although the show is flawed, like I said earlier the pilot starts very shaky, the character introductions are mediocre at best (I even had hard time keeping track of them) but when it got to a certain point, it got me invested. But other problems include times when the story hints and suggests things that could be interesting to see them play out, but there never bought up again. Also if you can't handle frustrating plotlines, proceed with caution as this does have quite a bit (Although mostly in earlier seasons). Season 3 is what I proceed to be the weakest seasons in my opinion, the story lines in this season I just didn't care for, all the other seasons (while good in their own right) just weren't necessarily as good as the first season. I won't discuss the other issues since there spoilers.Overall, while flawed, Blackstone is an enjoyable show. I would highly recommend it (especially if you liked the comic Scalped, since it is similar)
Harvey Baron I have been watching the series on Net Flix & am in to the 3rd season. While the series is captivating I am surprised that they portray the indigenous peoples as being pretty dumb. I think that this is degrading to them. I certainly hope that the public doesn't come away with the perception that all of the Native Canadians are like this. I would hope that they are not trying to show how the people are on a real reserve. I would hope that someone would do a TRUE documentary about life on a reserve. If anyone is interested in a project like this please let me know. baronsplace@frontier.com
sheelagrant I found this series very entertaining. It's nice to see a show about Native Americans where they portray the lead characters and not simply backdrops. They're not simply stereotypes of Native Americans either. The writing is very true-to-life. The language is a bit rough swearing-wise, but that's the way a lot of people talk, even non-Natives. The acting is totally believable. The directing is excellent. It's kind of like a Native American soap opera, but much less melodramatic. The story lines are very interesting to follow. It would be nice to get this here in the States. It definitely deserves more stars.
BigLaxFan94 I just wanna say that there are many fine looking gorgeous ladies in this series! Carmen Moore, Andrea Menard and Roseanne Supernault are all hot! Hehehehehehehehehe.(; Of course, the series has a great plot, storyline and cast of characters.But I like it how Andy's father tries to get it through his son's thick head that Ottawa is to blame for all of Native people's social problems. Andy's father used his gangrene foot as a great example of the poor health care that Native people receive by saying that if Ottawa hadn't have caused so many social problems, that his foot would have been fine. And he is right. Andy is so out of sync with his culture that he has completely forgotten about the ways of his ancestors! That is why he is such a corrupt Chief. Leona on the other hand was a great Chief who did her best to look after her community until Andy got re-elected and thus continuing the problems at Blackstone.Anyways .... this is why I give this one a 9.
