Gareth v @geewah 06/17/2023 A rather mundane and dull affair that has a few funny moments, but for the whole most of the gags seemed rather forced and predictable. See more 06/21/2022 I absolutely love this show and I recommend it to everyone! Stories about modern Native people being written and acted *by* Native writers and actors!!! It's well past time, and thanks to decades and decades of activist work by Native actors and storytellers, a fantastically funny and trauma-free show like Rutherford Falls exists! Jana Schmeiding is soooo funny as Regan Wells, who is an utterly relatable and lovable leading character, she can be both the butt of the joke as well as dole out absolute zingers! And Ed Helms plays the total boob, Nathan Rutherford, so perfectly, you love him even when he's being intolerable, and you can understand why he and Regan are friends. But maybe the best character of all is Michael Greyeyes' Terry Thomas. At first, Terry seems like the foil to Nathan and Regan, but Terry is the best!! He's clever, he's sharp, he's intimidating and approachable, and Michael Greyeyes' plays him to comedic and dramatic perfection!! See more 05/15/2022 Honestly, I only watched this initially because I love Ed Helms and had just finished the office when this show came to the UK via Peacock. I ended up watching the season through twice and I got so much more out of it the second time because it does need abit of commitment to really get the most out of it and I think the first season could have done with being a few eps longer to let us understand who everyone is better but it's a really fun show with a big heart. I would never have picked a show about a small town and native tribes if it hadn't been for Ed Helms being the star, but actually so many of the characters are so good and the dialogue is so fresh and funny, It reminded me of parks and recs first season in that it is great but has even more potentially with some tweaks and additional cast members over the coming couple of seasons. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. See more boop s 05/13/2022 A fun show with a lot of heart. Really digs into the importance of your own history & community as well as respecting others. And the necessity of addressing the less glamorous parts of history as well. Reagan was great, I think the show struggled a little more with Nathan though, in attempting to point out his flaws but also make him sympathetic, it sometimes failed at both. Still very enjoyable though.

See more 05/06/2022 I really liked this sweet little show that could. You know I had to like it considering how strongly I dislike Ed Helms and I still kept watching. Jana Schmieding's Reagan made me watch for her struggles to be seen and growth towards being more confident and assertive. And what can I say of the magnificent Michael Greyeyes? Episode 4 centered on his character, Terry Thomas, brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat. Plus, you have to love small handful of supporting characters buzzing through to spike the laughs. The writing is humorous while making good points about the clash of two (or more) cultures and it's great to see Indigenous actors in front of the camera and know Indigenous people have a lot of say in their characterization, unlike almost every other previous instance. I'm glad it got a second season! See more Read all reviews
