Review of Frontier

Frontier (2016–2018)
7/10
Decent show
14 January 2023
I watched the first season (6 episodes) and it was entertaining enough so no regrets, but I think I'll move on to other shows. There's just not anything special about it.

The setting of British-Canadian fur trapper era is the most interesting part of it. Unfortunately the plot line is mostly the same old chase-catch-release with some interpersonal drama mixed in.

The writing and plot twists are all fairly obvious, nothing that really surprises and the romantic matchmaking can be seen from a mile away. The sets feel like they're on a sound stage about 80% of the time and the acting gets overly dramatic at times like watching a play.

It's one of those "pretty good" shows that are not quite good enough in the ocean of content that is now being made available.
