Loved it! The lead actress is fantastic. Quirky but lovable characters.

She was only 23-24 at the time of filming but has such gravitas in her acting. You can tell she’s lived a lot of life. And yes she’s gorgeous and fashionable!

Vapid? How so?

PP you replied to. I just find the characters quite cliche and not incredibly interesting, were it not for the amazing locale and cultural aspects. The wife who realizes her husband is a narcissist yet still retains some ties of loyalty and affection; the single mother who dates a lot but doesn't know how to lay the foundations for a long-term relationship; the older man who discovers he has a daughter and tries to relate to her; the budding love triangle; the boss who is the outsider yet tries to fit in.

I watch A LOT of TV series and now I've come to recognize those tropes. I don't think they're particularly well-done here, to be honest. But again, I do like the show as an ensemble cast and a reflection of Inuk culture, and I hope that perhaps the actors grow into their roles, that the plot has unexpected twists, etc. It has the potential to turn into a better plot! I particularly appreciate that their Inuk language is embedded in the story, and I enjoyed seeing how minor tensions played out regarding who is fluent, who isn't, who is seen as a true-blue denizen, who isn't (either from having an outsider parent, or from living outside the community).

Also, I love the boots, and the little aparté about the effect of salt!

The main actress is Anna Lambe! Very easy name to remember.

This feels like a critique from a white person who doesn’t understand the role of culture / oppression / discrimination in shaping people and their actions.

No. There's nudity and people naked in bed.
