If you’re in the mood for something that’ll leave you smiling without feeling overly sweet, Netflix’s newest comedy “North of North” might be exactly what you need.
Co-created by Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, the Canadian show dropped on the streaming service just a few days ago and it’s already gaining traction. At the time of writing, “North of North” has broken into Netflix’s top 10 and is currently sitting with a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Set in the fictional Arctic town of Ice Cove, “North of North” follows a young Inuk mother who unexpectedly walks out on her marriage and moves back in with her mother. What unfolds is a refreshingly real and heartwarming story about starting over and finding humor even when life gets messy.
