Am I Missing Something?

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I know Kristin can act since she was great on Smallville so can't help but blaming the series for being bad and causing bad chemistry and the bad script on the stale awkward acting and strange dialogues. For a short mini series this is very slow paced and feels coerced.

So, I watched the whole series. I waited when an episode didn't appear and found it the next week. Not only did the episodes drag on, but the series, by missing air dates, dragged it on too.I was expecting brilliance in the courtroom. Okay that didn't happen. Well then maybe romance par excellence, might be the theme. Well, no that didn't happen either. So what is this show?Well, it is about a lawyer we goes up against her dad's firm: a firm for which she worked, until she grew a conscience (maybe). She is suppose to be a brilliant lawyer, everyone said so. As a rule she just runs away, comes back, and gets blind sided by daddy at every turn. Then somehow, because daddy's past has people who hate him, they give the 'brilliant lawyer' evidence which daughter dearest uses to blackmail daddy into settling a case she couldn't win legitimately.Really? How repugnant can you get. She isn't a good lawyer, she isn't a good daughter, and she simply stumbles upon evidence which she uses to blackmail her dad so he will settle. I kept watching because I couldn't believe that her brilliance in court wouldn't shine through in the end. Shame on me. This is just a mediocre, badly written, drama about nothing, using the promise of a court battle to keep us from watching something else.

For being filmed in small town Manitoba and using many locals for numerous roles; it is surprisingly well done.Great story and even touches on some taboo topics to do with white vs indigenous history in Canadian Prairies

This is what more Canadian TV should be like! The story is well delivered by the strong cast. The locations are beautiful - it's nice to see a show that actually had real scenes outside rather than always in a studio. I can't wait for more!
