Season 1 Review: The first episode of Little Bird progresses a bit slowly, but sets up a powerful story about an Indigenous woman who wants to find the family she was forcibly taken from when she was a child. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The drama stays on the right side of melodrama; only a few minor characters approach caricature. Though the circumstances are tragic, and not everyone will make out well in the end, “Little Bird” is on the whole hopeful, more a story about human goodness than institutional arrogance.

Season 1 Review: It’s a fascinating, previously unexplored (as far as I know) premise for a dramatic series (with a great theme song, “I Remember You (Hey, Little Bird)” by Buffy Sainte-Marie). But stretching the story over six overly long episodes does the show no favors as it veers between taut drama and occasional lapses into obvious, stereotypical heroes and villains. Read full review
