1 catalogued'Barkskins' is well-acted and looks fantastic, but it's too confusing at the start
This show is a hidden gem. Great cinematography, intriguing characters and setting. Violent and dark but not overly gratuitous. The Revenant meets Deadwood. Would recommend.
Where most historical fiction seems like it’s arcing toward some grand thesis statement of a fixed point in time, “Barkskins” is just as much about foreshadowing the problems of the resulting generations as it is capturing a bygone moment. It might not always lead to the tidiest, easy-to-wrangle storytelling, but it ends up reflecting its time and our current one in a way these kinds of shows are not always able.
