Here's an interview that star and producer Allan Hawco did with CBC about the show.

[The Crazed Spruce]

Quote

Michael Smyth lands in the New World on an HBC ship and is ordered by Lord Benton to the frontier in search of fur trader Declan Harp.

[The Crazed Spruce]

The show's red carpet premiere was last night in St. John's, Newfoundland, where the show was shot.

Quote

Douglas and Malcolm Brown negotiate a loan with wealthy Samuel Grant; Cedric Brown kidnaps a Lake Walker boy as trade leverage; Emberly takes a big risk that puts her in Benton's crosshairs.

Jason Momoa shows off his axe-throwing skills at a local bar during filming. :)

Who was it who had their throat cut at the end of the episode?  It was so dark (on my TV anyway) that I couldn't identify who that was.

[Cigale]

Kitchi, the young boy who was earlier kidnapped by Cedric Brown.

Thank you sisterspoon!

Official Netflix trailer:

It's a show about the Canadian fur trade in the 1700s. We know what you're thinking: 'What's the catch? It sounds almost too compelling!'

HOW DID I NOT HEAR ABOUT THIS??? I am Canadian. I have eyes that can see Jason Momoa. I'm angry at the world for not bringing this directly to my attention last November.

Same! How did I not know about this! I've been wondering where my Canadian History Epic About The Hudson Bay Company has been for YEARS

Damn Lisa Bonet is a lucky woman. First Lenny Kravitz, now Jason. Though considering that Bill Cosby torpedoed her career, karma made it up to her. :) Now time to bite the Netflix bullet.

Is this the Canadian version of the Centennial?

It was advertised quite a bit on Showcase.

I couldn't tell any of what was happening in the night shots. It was very frustrating. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

Quote

With a bounty on Harp's head, Fort James fills up with bounty hunters; Emberly and Chesterfield conspire against Benton; Michael and Sokanon struggle to keep the Black Wolf in business.

[snowwhyte]

I like the idea of this show but there's a bit too much gritty realism for my taste. Did we really need multiple scenes of men peeing, that vomiting scene and creepy guy licking blood off of a razor?

Anyone watch this?  I saw that a third season was released and I hadn't even realised there was a second season.  I found the first season to be dreadfully slow.  I liked Jason Momoa's character but I couldn't care less about the young kids.  Did the second season improve?

[NoWillToResist]

I didn't realize this hadn't aired yet in the States. Guess it's because it's filmed in Canada? Awkward because I can't recall exactly how far into S2 I am now and so I really have to be careful with what I say. :)

In general, I will say that S2 has been annoying me for various reasons yet I still feel compelled to watch it. Grace has landed on my last nerve and seems determined to stay there. I will have to confirm where exactly I am in the season before commenting more specifically since I don't want to spoil details if I'm in the wrong episode...

 

Update: dammit. I only have one episode left to watch in season 2. Guess I'll have to wait until those ep threads are started/opened to vent. :D

I didn't realise this aired on regular TV in the States?  I thought we were seeing it here only via Netflix.  Seasons 2 and 3 are both available Stateside on Netflix so I would think they are fair game for anyone who wanted to discuss.
