Review of Tribal

Tribal (I) (2020–2022)
7/10
Important innovative fusion on tribal/metro issues
25 October 2021
At first we are taken aback by the soap-opera, rather amatuerish production values of this police series. It has a home movie feel to it much of the time, the editing is a bit lame, the actors often a bit stiff. But it will grow on you. The actual story is about a new young woman, an indegious native woman from a nearby reservation in some metropolitan city that is not named. She is the new chief of the tribal law enforcement division. And she is just fine. A beautiful and talented young actress, she is the root that carries the series along, with her salty, semi-broken old detective partner, a white guy who is not happy. He grows on you also. They bring an in your face narrative about and with real and actual indigenous actors. The story telling is authentic and to the point about real crimes in Indian Country. The actual story telling is very good. Give it a chance. Everyone gets better as the series progresses. Surprise yourself and actually learn something about Native Tribal peoples and the corrupted, flawed police and political people involved.
