Fans of the new show have rushed to social media to share their excitement about North of North. Over on X, formerly known as Twitter, @DigitaItrinkets wrote: “everyone go watch north of north on netflix please, it’s so good I promise you won’t regret it!”

@Maorimoana said: “If you watch anything this month, make sure it’s North of North on Netflix. It’s an Indigenous comedy sitcom filmed in Iqaluit, Nunavut. It’s so wonderful to watch a show of Indigenous people just being who we are, without a major trauma storyline attached to it.”

Reddit user @Swonebros said: “Saw the all of the episodes of cbc gem. It’s pretty decent tho. The set pieces, wardrobe, filming, etc. was absolutely amazing. Gorgeous show. I would say 8.5/10. I would say episode 5 and 8 is the best.”

@Ginchy added: “As soon as I saw this I was hoping it was a trailer for season 2 already! Even though I just finished watching season 1 a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it a lot. I hope more people will enjoy it since it’s going to be on Netflix now.”
