Following the Alaskan adventures of the Tobin family, as a single dad, Beef, does his best to keep his weird bunch of kids close -- especially his only daughter, Judy, whose artistic dreams lead her away from the family fishing boat and into the glamorous world of the local mall. Rounding out the family are Judy's older brother, Wolf, and his fiancé, Honeybee, her middle brother, Ham, and 10-year-old-going-on-50 little brother, Moon. While their mother is not in the picture, Judy seeks guidance from her new boss, Alyson, and her imaginary friend, Alanis Morissette, who appears to her in the northern lights.

There's something to the idea of just jumping further ahead; most show, especially sitcoms, need a few episodes to develop and hone their own rhythm, and "The Great North" is no exception. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au Jun 5, 2021
The Great North is the TV equivalent of hygge, that Danish lifestyle philosophy of creating comfort and warmth. It goes down as easily as a mug of hot chocolate and before you know it, you're entranced under its snugly spell. Go to Full Review Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 18, 2021
The genuine care that the Tobins demonstrate for each other never tips toward the cloying because The Great North's writers are so good at inserting very specific jokes into the mix. Go to Full Review Vivian Kane The Mary Sue Jan 19, 2022
Once I got over my own self-contrived expectations of what it wasn’t, I could appreciate how fantastically hilarious and brilliant the show actually is. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Mar 3, 2021

Occasional rude humor on sweet animated family show. Go to Full Review Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects Feb 18, 2021
Even with only a handful of episodes under its belt (that I've been provided to screen), The Great North is already proving to be a zany and loveable addition to the animated sitcom genre. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kyle J @RT86365817 Aug 6, 2026 Wholesome family centred and funny animation See more Jackie_o B. @The_red_tomato May 11, 2026 This series is wholesome in a way I’ve only dreamed of having in real life. Watching this show has been my nightly routine for years and continues to bring me joy and comfort. See more Amb V @AmAnnihlation Jan 14, 2026 I was skeptical at first because it had a similar vibe to bobs burgers but was obviously different as far as some of the actors go and setting. I see a lot of people compare the two and Bobs is one of my absolute comfort shows. I’m ten episodes into The Great North and it has a very comforting glow about it too! Turns out shows can have similarities and differences and still both make you feel like you are home. I adore the family dynamic in both shows and the love and weirdness they spread. Both shows truly bring to life how different people can be and we love them because of who they are regardless. we are all little weirdos at heart ❤️ See more Ashley A @RT02010001 Aug 9, 2025 Heartwarming, wholesome, and hilarious. The best animated series on the market right now. See more T R @RT84200528 Jun 19, 2025 Tried to like it but it's just a snore fest. See more Tomoya A @RT47419888 Oct 17, 2024 I started with The Great North before I jumped into Bob's Burgers and still to this day I think comparing the two is not possible. They shine in their own respective ways. TGN's coziness, humor, and style was always there to cheer me up when I needed it! One of my favorite animated shows on air! See more Read all reviews
