European dominated countries (U. S. A., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America)) have a lot to answer for in their treatment of the indigenous population. The orphanages and Schools set up by Governments and Christian Churches were a hell hole for many.
This series tells some of that story by focusing on one family and it's treatment by the Canadian Government.
The story is gripping enough to allow some weaknesses in it's presentation. Kudos for telling it.
I found the Jewish family too stereotypical. Our protagonist breaks off her engagement, but it's never shown in any depth. The Social Workers come off as Automatons. The government is shown through them and it would have helped to have dug deeper.
The main focus, the trauma, was well developed, and I think a second season dealing with the legal/moral battles to eradicate such inhumane programs would be interesting.
