The topic of the "clash of cultures" which happened in the Canadian frontier during the fur-trade rush COULD have been a very interesting topic; but this quickly devolved into a formulaic "fight, get captured, escape...then fight again (repeat)" type melodrama. The characters are Vaudevillian in their 2-dimensional nature. Some of the actors go back-and-forth in faked accents, and either suffer from a lazy script or bad ad libbing, since they use a lot of 20th century jargon (one actually says, "go for it"). The tone is set every episode with some ultra-PC quote from a rapper or leftist (excluding Margaret Thatcher...she gets a pass because she owned a vadge) and always underscores its "woke" nature by constantly portraying men as brawling, hot-headed and scheming...ever ready to punch a woman in the face. And of course there's a healthy dose of anti-Catholicism...because every British outpost had a drunken, leacherous Catholic priest (the nuns who kidnapped little girls was a great touch). These scenes are so disconnected from the reality of the true history, that you can only just shake your head and try to turn your brain off and think of this as pure fantasy. The ONLY saving grace this mess had going for it is Jason Mommoa...which I'm glad went on to much better things, despite his participation.
