Too much of everything

Simply A Masterpiece

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I am not sure how I stubbed upon this show since I come from the place called Croatia and here we only get to see the most popular recent tv shows. But I am so happy that my parents have a great taste that brought this show to my attention. If you are looking for a fast paced show full of twists and scandals then this show is not for you. However if you want to see a show filled with the most interesting characters, slow building plot, amazing monologs and dialogs and of course the most beautiful landscapes, visit the magical show that Northern Exposure really is. This is one of the show where is hard to pick your favorite character, the show where is hard to understand any character until you finish the whole show, the show that will live you speechless nad fully judgmental over the other shows that own our tv screens today. If I had to name a tv show that is as rich as a fine book I would say Northern Exposure in a split second! Give it a shot, its unique, its great, its Norhern Exposure

The sixth Season started showing it's cracks, though the episode that sees Joel Fleischman off was brilliant and touching, but I've seen all six seasons a half dozen times and never got bored with it. You wish you were a part of this group of characters. Ruth Anne, Ed, Chris, and my favorite, Adam, what can I say? Weird, insightful, strange, off the wall but it works and well I still wish it hadn't ended. Like Cheers, I felt, there was no reason to conclude the show from without; 11 seasons of barroom bs? How's that even possible if it wasn't for the writing. 6 Seasons of small-town bs in Cicily Alaska you'd think would offer less, but it was a first rate show with first-rate writing.If ever there were a handful of shows I think would still be relevant today, it would be Northern Exposure, Cheers and Seinfeld. Personal ambitions of the actors and producers aside, you don't want it to end, and that's how you feel after Season Six; wanting more. Go visit on DVD, you won't want to go back to civilization after visiting Cicily, AK.Note: On a road trip through Washington State, I stopped at Rosylyn, and I was caught by surprise the emotions. It was as real a thing, as to come back home again, not knowing what that is personally.

RW, My advice to you is to just keep watching! Your take on the initial few episodes is actually dead-on! I agree with you wholeheartedly, but give it a chance! It's undeniably the best fictitious TV show ever created, IMHO! Joel's character IS awfully annoying, as is most of the cast for the first handful of episodes. Give the cast a bit of a chance to warm up and develop. They seem flat and pointlessly quirky at first, but then the writing just blossoms, grows, and expands into something never matched, before or since, in broadcasting history.Man, I'd kill to be 25 and watching this show for the first time. Savor it, my friend. Watch more and you'll see what I mean. I guarantee it!

god, i miss that show. being native, it made me feel all homey and warm the way the natives and the whites melded together to create a "whole".it was well written and the story line was such that it took intelligence to follow the plot.there will never be another northern exposure. it broke the mold.each character drew you into the plot.little dramas and life happenings kept it interesting. it got bad at the end, but death isn't pretty.i guess the writers just burned out.i wish it was in syndication.
