Lauren B. (creator). (2007). Heartland. [Television Series]. Canada: CBC.

This show is a Canadian drama that was originally books and was made into a TV series. It follows a girl, Amy who is struggling to get back to normal after the sudden and tragic death other her mother. Her sister Lou has to move back from the city in order to help out around the ranch. This ranch was run by their mother and their grandfather. The ranch is struggling to make money and they need to reorganize it a bit in order to make sure they don't lose it. In the first episode you see how compassionate Amy is when it comes to horses, there was a horse being abused she had convinced her mother to save it. This is when they get into a car accident and her mother doesn't survive.  Throughout the series you meet a bunch of people that from the small Albertan town where Amy and her family lives.


This show is directed towards girls would be at least 12 years old, but would also appeal to older ages too. While the show is set on a ranch in rural Alberta and concentrates on horses mainly however the relationships that develop in the show are interesting and diverse and would appeal to a wider audience than just people who are interested in horses. One limitation that might affect the appeal of the show is the fact that many of the shows that are made in Canada are seen as not as high of quality as other shows.


Rating: 4/5
