ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

spaceninja44 I tried watching this show twice and I simply couldn't take it anymore.Let me get this straight, so the bad guy kills all the men around so that the women become prostitutes in his brothel? But aren't you killing your customers, i.e. men? If there are no men, who exactly is paying for these prostitutes?Looks like someone needs a lesson in economics, supply and demand. Having tons of supply (prostitutes) means nothing if you don't have demand (men). In fact, increasing the number of available prostitutes reduces prices (think Prohibition vs now. Price of booze has dropped). Decreasing the population of men also reduces demand because the market has shrunk. You're supposed to eliminate the competition, not your customers.Let me put it this way, if you had a town of 100 men and one prostitute, you'd be able to make a lot more money than in a town of 100 prostitutes and one man. It doesn't have to be prostitutes, it could be milk, clairvoyance, medicine, anything. A hundred doctors won't make a lot of money from one patient. I can't take this show seriously. This is not Keynesian economics. This is not even the goose that laid golden eggs. This is basic stuff. You don't kill your customers. If people bring you money and you kill them, guess what? They stop bringing you money.

jorettarobidoux My husband and I really enjoy this show. The good bad and ugly set in Canada. We appreciate the Metis connection. This is very realistic and well represented. A voice for the history of the Metis people and how they didn't belong to either the white or Indian. Setting the main character in a positive light counter acts any negative stereo types. Getting this message beyond the boarders of Canada as well as entertaining. Our railroad was build my the oriental peoples, and this shows the exploitation of these people in Canada. This occurs in the west of Canada, but not the kind of westerns made famous by Americans. Yes our history is different. We look forward to see the weekly shows. We don't miss it.

Konota Crane At Last an era show with lots of Canadian talent. Probably one of the most believable "westerns" as I'm certain life "on the frontier" was not easy for women and children.The life of mixed bloods has never been easy or acceptable then and not much better now, I certainly believe that women then where fighters and survivors and had to be often at a high cost.. The delivery of the life at that time is more "factual". I commend writers/production on the sensitivity to cultural matters and knowing some of the nuances of culture. Good for Canada for bringing to light the matter and the talent. An old saying "whaf wa" really good" thanks for a wonderful series...

susiemoloney Strange Empire is more than just a Western, although there's plenty of Western action. It's a female-driven, sexy, well-plotted drama. Beautifully shot, well-written, it's really the characters who drive the story. A small wagon train traveling into the west between Montana and Canada border, runs into a mining community that has little more than a brothel, mine, and railroad running through it. When two young girls are hidden from the brothel and mine owner, he extracts his revenge by sicking his men on the wagons, killing all the husbands, fathers, and male children, in order to force the women to work the brothel. The plan mostly blows up thanks to Kat Loving, a fierce wife-made-widow. From then on, it's pretty much war. Hopefully CBC won't cancel this one prematurely while it finds its audience. Hear that, CBC? Don't you dare!
