Far North

The (mostly) true story of how the most comically inept gang to ever join forces got half a billion dollars' worth of meth to New Zealand shores - and nearly to market. And they would have got away with it too, if it wasn't for a pesky 70-year-old Māori diesel mechanic and his aqua-aerobics instructing wife!

A very clever, sweet show.

Decider by Joel Keller

The charm of Anna Lambe and the Arctic small-town setting make North Of North a breezy, fun watch.

Rolling Stone by Alan Sepinwall

A show with the very modest goal of charming the snowpants off its viewers — a goal it achieves quickly and consistently throughout its eight-episode first season.

Whether you hail from an Indigenous reservation in America, a small town, or just a run-of-the-mill dysfunctional family, “North of North” will draw you in and hold you close.

New York Magazine (Vulture) by Roxana Hadadi

With its mix of Indigenous cultural specificity, a winning coming-of-age story, and a charming ensemble, North of North is delightfully bingeable.

Los Angeles Times by Robert Lloyd

A charming small town comedy, with — as is so often the case in small town comedies — a generous portion of rom-com stirred in.

The Hollywood Reporter by Angie Han

North of North is unassuming in its humor, only occasionally provoking full-on belly laughs or delivering memorably quotable lines. But I found, as I kept watching, that what was near-constant was the smile on my face.

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review by Rob Owen

“North of North” is an easy, entertaining watch that’s improved by its cultural specificity.

The New York Times by Margaret Lyons

On the whole, this is a cozy sweetheart show with lots going for it. There is one aspect, though, that casts a grotesque shadow over everything.

Boston Globe by Lisa Weidenfeld

The first season may be overburdened with exposition establishing how these characters live their lives, but it shows promise as a place to visit.
