rapierdon I stumbled upon this series and found it an enjoyable escape but with a strong feminist message. I think that the women's lib aspect is what drives the low ratings. This is a beautifully filmed series with excellent attention to period costumes. Though the dialogue is sometimes stilted, the characters are compelling and well portrayed by the cast. My only real disappointment came when I learned that there was only one season. A pity, as I was left wanting to know what becomes of the characters.
felix-39039 The editing was rough, the content was interesting and probably regarding the women not so far off the truth of the suffering & indignities women endured on any frontier. We thought it a refreshing take on the old west even with it's plot, cast & spotty editing drawbacks
misscrient It seems inevitable that a series as captivating as this one should not be renewed. The sets, costuming, and script is of such quality. that it is much cheaper to pursue the dregs of reality TV. This show takes place in an odd location, in the 19th century with women dominating the strong characters of this series. The diversity of actors and situations culminated in my devotion which has now been betrayed by the head of CBC programing. I lament your decision profoundly. It is rare in todays choices to find such a unique premise. TV today is dominated by violence, "reality" TV and a preoccupation with advertising sales & viewer numbers. That is capitalism of which government is meant to fill in the gaps or failures of private sector productions. CBC failed in this endeavor by canceling this show after ONLY ONE season. I am disheartened.....again.
Konota Crane At Last an era show with lots of Canadian talent. Probably one of the most believable "westerns" as I'm certain life "on the frontier" was not easy for women and children.The life of mixed bloods has never been easy or acceptable then and not much better now, I certainly believe that women then where fighters and survivors and had to be often at a high cost.. The delivery of the life at that time is more "factual". I commend writers/production on the sensitivity to cultural matters and knowing some of the nuances of culture. Good for Canada for bringing to light the matter and the talent. An old saying "whaf wa" really good" thanks for a wonderful series...
