A show with the very modest goal of charming the snowpants off its viewers — a goal it achieves quickly and consistently throughout its eight-episode first season.

A charming ensemble - witty writing and roots in Inuit culture make North of North a fun, interesting watch. Im looking forward to season 2!

This charming series is set in a tiny Arctic village in Canada. It stars Anna Lambe as a young Inuk woman trying to forge her own path after separating from her husband. She gets a job at the local civic center (run by Mary Lynn Rajskub), which serves as the impetus for community events and gossip. There’s a lineup of unique, fun characters that gives the town its personality. Toss in some romantic encounters to add heart. It's full of fun performances and moves briskly. (How could it not? It’s so cold!) This series is sweet, cozy, often amusing and most important considering the climate, warm. (Eight 30-minute eps)

Whether you hail from an Indigenous reservation in America, a small town, or just a run-of-the-mill dysfunctional family, “North of North” will draw you in and hold you close.

A charming small town comedy, with — as is so often the case in small town comedies — a generous portion of rom-com stirred in.

North of North is unassuming in its humor, only occasionally provoking full-on belly laughs or delivering memorably quotable lines. But I found, as I kept watching, that what was near-constant was the smile on my face.

On the whole, this is a cozy sweetheart show with lots going for it. There is one aspect, though, that casts a grotesque shadow over everything.

The first season may be overburdened with exposition establishing how these characters live their lives, but it shows promise as a place to visit.

Muito interessante ver uma comunidade ligada à cultura esquimó, mas tudo é bem higienizado e tratado como uma visão light, até mesmo a trilha sonora pop, de modo que fica artificial. Ainda assim é uma história engraçada, leve, vai tratando de um triângulo amoroso mas tem muitas camadas sobre relacionamento abusivo. Só não entendi porque o roteiro deixou de lado a questão da tradição (a mulher na água), de modo que abraçou devez o clichê romaântico. TInha potencial pra mais.
