Review of Frontier

Frontier (2016–2018)
5/10
Redundant and formulaic
18 September 2020
This one of those long, drawn-out "successes" that should have stopped after episode 3 when it ran out of things to say. The topic of the early Canadian frontier is incredibly interesting on many levels. But this quickly devolved into an ultra-PC "woke"-fest, where all the men are hot-headed, brawlers (including the lead, Jason Momoa, who is great, FYI), and all the women hold the real key to power, and they of course had to throw in constant anti-Catholic bigotry (what is a Catholic priest doing in a British fort anyway? This is just stupid) for good measure (the kidnapping nuns were a perfect touch). The quotes at the beginning set the tone, catering to BLM-style "wokeness" so you really know where this is going. I'm just glad Jason went on to better things despite this mess.
