The cast is tremendous, and im not just talking about Hilary Swank (one of the handful of actors/actresses alive who practically have "Safe Bet" tattoo'ed on their foreheads), but also Grace Dove (who has one of the greatest faces you'll ever seen on screen and inhabits her character so very well). No, this is an ensemble cast, and each manages to make their character feel very real, Jeff Perry is notably perfectly cast.
But it has to be said the two strong female leads are a wonderful team of their own. Its great to see tough and negelected topics covered in a long format, over a series, that forces you to think outside your safe bubble to what native communities are dealing with, and have been for decades.
This series doesnt just serve you up a convenient bite sized grab of a topic that your instagram attention deficit brain will cast off easily, it fleshes out the how the why, and most importantly the failings of systems whose very purpose is to serve, but ultimately neglect.
There are many shows i could happily not bother to catch up if i missed them, they are disposable, but this one was one of those series where i looked forward to the next episode.
I cant wait for the next season.
