Indigenous Representation that doesn't hijack well-written and acted drama. This is SMART watching!

Bravo to the TRICKSTER creators for bringing together modern, relatable, strong actors of Canadian First Nation heritage. I'm only one episode in, but this show has what so many similar "eerie" and "spooky" shows lack: a stealthy sense of humor.

One moment you're gasping and then something happens and you chuckle involuntarily. Not a big sitcom laff, but a really well-timed and welcome break in tension.

I don't recognize any of the actors and overall the characters they create are solid, dimensional and believable.

score 10/10
