Blackfly

2001–2002 · 2 seasons

A broad, silly historical sitcom that plays colonial Canada for easy laughs and goofy scheming.

Overview: Who would have thought that Canadian history could be so much fun? Blackfly is set in the 18th century fur-trading post of Fort Simpson-Eaton and is a hysterical romp through the backwoods of Canada when the British ruled, the French explored, and beaver was king.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Class, power, greed, colonialism
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
