I’m so annoyed, Alaska Daily about Missing and Murdered indigenous women was cancelled by ABC. It was really good and they just cancelled it for no good reasons. Also all the shows that have been cancelled lately like Roswell New Mexico, Kung Fu, The Winchesters, Big Sky all get cancelled when shows that are worse or about cops or hospitals are all that are left. I’m just frustrated when good shows with people of color, women or lgbtq characters are cancelled for stupid reasons. Just so mad.

ABC cancelled Alaska Daily. I'm saddened but glad it existed and I got to meet these characters and see this story and the attention was drawn to the MMIW issue and to the work local journalists do. I appreciate that ABC greenlit this. I think they didn't promote it enough, though. Who knows what makes a show catch on or not, but Alaska Daily deserved more viewership than it got.

The whole cast was a delight, and Hillary Swank and Grace Dove were both outstandingly brilliant in this.

Hey, to those of you upset by Big Sky completely ignoring the fact that in Montana, 26% of their missing persons cases are Indigenous, while the show has ZERO Indigenous representation, please, PLEASE, check out Alaska Daily!

Now, I hate that the are not solving the problem with the representation on Big Sky, even after the people behind it said they listened and that their "eyes were opened." So very much fuck them for that. But this show is all about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirits (MMIWG2S) epidemic that has been going on since the colonizers came to the US.

It also has diverse representation with Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, and (accurately casted) Asian representation.

And huge bonus points: Irene Bedard is on the cast. If you don't know that name, you absolutely know her most famous character:

That's right, Irene Bedard played Pocahontas. All problems with that movie aside, she has played one of the most famous Indigenous people ever on screen. I was thrilled to see her name in the credits! I had no idea she was going to be on this.

Please check out this show! Not only is it important, it's actually very good! Certainly miles better then most of the crap that is getting out nowadays. And I hate mystery/procedural type shows, but I very much enjoyed what they have going on here.

Oh! And for those of you who react to things visually, like the coloring of shows and whatnot, there is something about the setting and architecture and color of this show that just makes you feel like you're breathing fresh air. So, that was wonderful.

Please, PLEASE, check this show out!

It centers around one of the many terrible things that have been happening to Indigenous people, bringing a spotlight to one of the ways the US's quiet genocide is continuing against the Indigenous population.

The new TV show “Alaska Daily” premieres on Thursday. It stars Hilary Swank as a hard-charging investigative reporter, fresh from New York City – but quick to see that her new state has far too many cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women.

The series is fiction, loosely based on the Anchorage Daily News, and at least two Alaska Native writers work on the show.

“Overall, I really hope people see in this, in some way, the Alaska that I love,” said Lingít playwright Vera Starbard, whose career took off when she was tapped to write episodes for the PBS hit children’s series, Molly from Denali.

#the more i read about this series the more excited i get to watch it! #(even if it IS filmed in vancouver. which i guess makes a lot of sense for the tv industry.) #alaska daily

Alaska Daily (2022- 2023)

🎬Recently disgraced reporter Eileen Fitzgerald leaves her high-profile New York life behind to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska, on a journey to find both personal and professional redemption.

📝An intelligent, well written and thought provoking show. It will make you appreciate the important, tough and hard work journalists do. The whole cast is amazing and the main plotline is extremely important. I was sad to learn that ABC network has cancelled this (I suppose we can't have intelligent shows, when you can make mass produced rubbish). It is still worth watching because the story concludes at the end of the season, so you will not be wasting your time.

I hope they will shop it to another network. It's a brilliant show and worth watching. Episode 1 is a little slow, but stick with it, it's a very good series.

The sad and very scary reality that Native communities face is the growing numbers of Missing Murdered Indigenous Women (#MMIW). Great to see a major broadcast network like ABC highlight this in their new show 'AlaskaDaily'. The first episode has promise for a good season.

I'm glad MMIW is the highlight of this show - a big shout out to ABC for providing resources at the end of the episode. As an Indigenous woman, when I visit cities or towns that have a high rate of MMIW, I am constantly looking over my shoulder. Imagine having to be on alert ALL the time, something simple like putting in gas in your car, you have to notify someone to let them know where you are going to ensure you are returning safely. This is a scary reality that ALL Indigenous women have to do in their everyday life especially for those living in those cities or towns.

My hope is 'Alaska Daily' will do justice to the Indigenous women who have been murdered, who are still missing and not to use them as a prop in the storytelling. Also, not to play the white savior card.

I am glad to see a diverse cast and the inclusion of Indigenous actors and writers.

ALASKA DAILY 1x06 You Can't Put a Price on a Life

#alaska daily #roz friendly #eileen fitzgerald #stanley cornik #binged this in two days #underrated gem of a show #im loving all the newsroom interactions

1x06 of Alaska Daily was heartbreaking and scathing. The ep addressed systemic inequalities in searches for missing white women are treated vs how searches for missing Indigenous women, after a white woman falls overboard from an Alaska cruise ship and an Indigenous woman goes missing in the woods.

Stanley and Roz’s deadpan exchange where Stanley (the paper’s editor in chief) is required to do an obligatory reprimand of Roz after she raises questions about the inequalities at a press conference and says he is “talking” to Roz about her “behavior” was gold.

“Are you done ‘talking’ to me?”

“Yeah. Good chat.”

And then Stanley heads out to the woods to join Roz in the search for Jade. I appreciate Stanley.

The gala having Indigenous performers while a million dollars is being spent on the search for one white woman and almost nothing spent on the missing Indigenous woman — Jade’s search gets done by the community, not official forces. A gala attended by the wealthy who are profiting off the governor’s puff PR “task force” where most of the money is spent on PR not resources.

The rapid-fire dialogue and the wry or deadpan humor of the team of reporters and the friendships among the reporters at TDA is enjoyable and the show finds humor while being raw about a range of issues from corruption to inequalities. I also liked that this ep developed Stanley and Roz’s friendship, the mutual respect, Stanley being a mentor and ally.

It’s interesting how the show depicts Roz, Eileen, and Stanley’s different kinds of angers. Roz’s anger is deep and quiet and stirred higher by being not listened to, not heeded, being overlooked. Trying to get people to listen. Eileen’s is sometimes a bulldozer and at times, well-intended white liberal crusader but she doesn’t always stop to think about the real personal impacts, she latches onto causes, but genuinely cares. Stanely’s anger is a tired anger. He knows how broken the system is. He’s given almost no budget to run the paper. He believes in the power the press has to bring about change, uncover truths, so Stanley tries to push and encourage his team to do work past the external limits set on them. Stanley and Roz in different ways both live in frustration, boxed in, but they know where the hidden cracks in the walls are and how to apply pressure to get them to crumble. While Eileen rams her her way head-on at every wall.

The whole cast is stong, and Hillary Swank, Grace Dove, and Jeff Perry (who plays Stanely) deserve a ton of critical attention of their roles in this. The show itself deserves a lot more attention. I hope it gets a S2.

Don’t sleep on Alaska Daily.

Well Eileen’s going to therapy at last!

Ahhh Yuna’s so sweet!

The paper’s days look numbered...

People in power, always bullshitters. Welp

That bastard pastor Gallahorn’s son!

Hah! The bullshitter commissioner gave in!

Bloody hell, Aaron’s got balls to stand up to his dad! Mad respect!

And it’s not the asshole pastor but bloody Toby on the fishing boat.

Awww Gabe wants to leave the paper ;____;
