I can't believe that some of the people who commented here did not enjoy this series. The novels that this series was based upon were written by a Newfoundlander who did tonnes of research on the subject and made sure everything was as accurate as possible. This series depicts Newfoundlanders fighting to survive and clinging to a new world they called home. It shows the hardships these people endured and how proud and brave and strong these early Newfoundlanders were. It makes me proud to see these things and to be reminded that my ancestors worked so hard to make a home out of and the beautiful but unforgiving and relentless island where I was raised and long to return to.
