A spin-off series of the earlier film Dance Me Outside, which I had originally watched just as a precursor to this, and glad I did, the series is quite good. Honestly I enjoyed it even more than the film, but that's true for most series. Following a group of late teens on the rez somewhere in Ontario, we get a lot of familiar young adult drama with relationships, parties, and general listlessness, with plenty of life lessons in the subtext and episode take-aways. Like the film before was produced by Bruce McDonald, and the writing was quite good, although the acting was often hit-and-miss, and they also never really addressed the events of the film before it, not that they had to I guess. Ryan Rajendra Black as the lead, Silas Crow, was pretty good, and was fun seeing both young Tamara and Jennifer Podemski, who I knew from smaller roles in the more recent Reservation Dogs. Gary Farmer also appears, who is always a treat, and surprisingly even David Cronenberg shows up for a small role, which was quite fun. Only two short seasons, if you like these kinds of dramas, this one was pretty good, I'd say check it out if you can find it.
