What a pleasant surprise I received watching Alaska Daily. I've seen it display on IMDB and noticed glimpses of references to it often when I'm browsing, looking for something gritty and meaningful to watch. However even though it's been out since last year I never really checked into the story-line and cast before yesterday and started reading the reviews for it.
The fact that Hillary Swank plays the lead role should have rang alarm bells in my mind reminding me about how great an actor she is but I think the title of the series itself kept putting me off, as well as some of the mediocre reviews.
Still, I went ahead and streamed it, ending up watching the entire 11 episodes all of last night, which, needless to say, caused me to go to sleep at 10.30am and get up today at 1.30pm. Tired today but don't mind because I couldn't get enough of this great and meaningful series so had to see it through to the end.
The acting by everyone in the cast was, to me, first class and yes, some of the faces looked familiar.
Let me tell you, this is an extremely enjoyable experience to watch and had me feeling rather emotional at times, as well as the enjoyable tidbits of comedy and off-the-cuff remarks, to say nothing about how important the subject of the show is really about. I really hope something gets done and reforms become put in place to help the Native American Women situation in that area, and everywhere I imagine throughout the USA.
I live in Australia so perhaps I don't even have the right to comment, however I urge anyone reading the reviews page to skip over the medium or lower ones because this is a high quality show and I gave it 10 out of 10. Just wish there was a second season available.
