The Red Road (2014–2015)
7/10
Enjoying show, but would be more realistic if all characters were natives
11 April 2015
The story line is good, and there is enough action here and there to keep the show interesting. I'll keep watching.

The biggest let down is blacks in key rolls, playing natives. It just doesn't work, very unbelievable, especially heard in pronouncing words. They do not look like, or sound like natives on reserves. There are just so many talented native actors that I don't understand why blacks were brought in to play lead rolls as natives. For me this has taken away from authenticity, and realism from the series.

Other than the above noted weakness, the show is very enjoyable to watch, and I look forward to seeing how the writers go forward with development.
