The commercials made it seem like it’d be some terribly hokey white savior plot but it’s pretty compelling and the cultural element makes it a much watch. The main actress is an absolute star. I highly recommend watching the entire season.



Spoiler: the momma’s storyline 😭

Spoilers. There is a raunchy (and horribly denigrating) almost sex scene in one of the episodes. It is uncomfortable.

I binged it and love it too. I just wish that they had chosen some actual Inuk songs to showcase in the show instead of mainstream pop.

I disagree with the person who said the plot was vapid. A lot of people are automatically dismissive of stories that center a young woman/mom and stories with humor. I am very much rooting for Siaja as a character and love watching the growth we've seen as her perception of herself changes.


OP here. Agree wholeheartedly!

Meant to watch one episode and ended up watching 5. It’s so good. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
