Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Scarlet
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

LOVED this show! I applaud Sundance for bringing it to us but detest how they screwed it and us over by handling this gem so poorly. Ever heard of supporting and advertising a quality show?! They had the guts to try the series but not enough balls to support it!!Extremely disappointed that because of Sundance there aren't more episodes! The Red Road had superb acting, great story- so much going for it. Some of Jason Momoa's best work to date!! He brought layers of depth to Phillip Kopus that made the audience root for him even when he was doing bad things! Within The Red Road was the whole gray area between good and bad and what motivates people and the mental and emotional anguish...Great work by the principals and supporting characters. It had action but was about people and relationships, actions and consequences and the ugly way people can treat one another. It was intriguing and captivating. You've got an incredible cast including Martin Henderson,Julianne Nicholson,Tamara Tunie,Mike Farrell and Tom Sizemore bringing compelling characters to life. I recommend this show to people all the time!

Story line is great, the actors are great. Creative, suspenseful.. I absolutely love the story line it's so unique and unpredictable! Love the characters and relationships in this show.. This show has a lot going for it and most people have never heard of it surprisingly.. I hope it gets the views it deserves and they continue to make more seasons I rarely ever watch television these days cuz its usually crap in my opinion.. But I'm hooked on this show I hope they make a third season ! I wanna see what happens next ! :D~

I'm not the biggest Jason Momoa fan and I found it hard to get past the fact that few Native Americans are in the lead roles of a series dealing with Native Americans, with Jason Momoa being Hawaiian, Tamara Tunie being African American, Lisa Bonet being a bit here and there and Tom Sizemore being more Jersey than anything else. But, after about two episodes, I'm glad I did. This series is a solid show. It's competently acted, deals with real Native American issues and manages to surprise you here and there. And I'm, still, not the biggest Jason Momoa fan....but, he's growing on me. I won't call it overly clever (like Peaky Blinders) or stunningly edited (like Sense8). What I will call it is sincere and blunt, earnest in its desire to tell you its story. And you can't ask for much more than that.

OK, I'm hooked. Like other reviewers, I like the slow, brooding intensity of the plot and the gradual peeling back of the characters' personalities. At the core of the plot are universal themes of love and betrayal; good and evil and that things are not as they appear. In the beginning, it's pretty clear who's the bad guy and who's the good guy – even the characters themselves have made up their minds about what happened to Jean's brother. But Jean's descent into mental illness and Harold's efforts to protect her from herself parallels the blurring of people's perception and reality. I was a fan of Julianne Nicholson from August Osage County and Masters of Sex, but I have to say that Jason Momoa (as Phillip) and Martin Henderson (as Harold) are both superb. In the beginning, the former is a scary sociopath (one look from him and you'd kiss your remaining days goodbye); the latter is the penultimate squeaky clean cop and good dad, trying to hold his family together. Then the truth begins to reveal itself and by episode six, the definitions of "good" and "evil" are no longer so clear cut and you're not so sure about what you thought you knew. What is clear is that people do extraordinary things to protect themselves and the people they love. I can't wait for Season 2.
