Interesteg What makes it different from others?

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

sharonseverynse I found this to be entertaining as it gives a different perspective not your typical western. It shows women to be able to adapt quickly and be somewhat victorious in situations that should make them become despondent and broken. It is a show to sit back and enjoy after a long day working without having to have a lot of cussing, blood and guts. It is a good show casting perseverance.

misscrient It seems inevitable that a series as captivating as this one should not be renewed. The sets, costuming, and script is of such quality. that it is much cheaper to pursue the dregs of reality TV. This show takes place in an odd location, in the 19th century with women dominating the strong characters of this series. The diversity of actors and situations culminated in my devotion which has now been betrayed by the head of CBC programing. I lament your decision profoundly. It is rare in todays choices to find such a unique premise. TV today is dominated by violence, "reality" TV and a preoccupation with advertising sales & viewer numbers. That is capitalism of which government is meant to fill in the gaps or failures of private sector productions. CBC failed in this endeavor by canceling this show after ONLY ONE season. I am disheartened.....again.

MaddCatter Westerns have been popular since the beginning of film. But Strange Empire is unique in that it is an Estrogen Western. The reduction of testosterone is long overdue. This refreshing series is well written, innovative, and imaginative while featuring strong women as the main characters. The acting is excellent and the camera work is exquisite. The muted tones of the beautiful scenery work well to set the tone. Can't help but feel the series could have found its audience if given more than one season. I would have liked to see the characters be given a chance to develop and Janestown be given a chance to grow. But the powers that be cut the heart right out of it. So very unfortunate as this is a true gem. I just found it on Netflix and was captivated.

jorettarobidoux My husband and I really enjoy this show. The good bad and ugly set in Canada. We appreciate the Metis connection. This is very realistic and well represented. A voice for the history of the Metis people and how they didn't belong to either the white or Indian. Setting the main character in a positive light counter acts any negative stereo types. Getting this message beyond the boarders of Canada as well as entertaining. Our railroad was build my the oriental peoples, and this shows the exploitation of these people in Canada. This occurs in the west of Canada, but not the kind of westerns made famous by Americans. Yes our history is different. We look forward to see the weekly shows. We don't miss it.
