Chronique Arctique

Universal human relations are presented against a fascinating Arctic setting and a little seen culture that adds its own fillip to the proceedings. For example, the clothing is in vibrant colours and patterns overlaid with modern application of furs, traditional survival gear. Who knew that Inuit were such fashionistas? The town housing is also in bright Mediterranean hues, presumably to stand out from the vast expanse of white surroundings. The cinematography is breath taking, movie quality.

The main character Siaja is charming and well acted by Ms. Lambe. This is not a laugh out loud comedy, more a grin type. It's reminiscent of the series Mohawk Girls with one actress crossing over into the new show playing the heroine's mother (with different ethnically correct tatoos). Very promising concept and beautifully executed so far (2 episodes).
