Preview — Trickster Season 1 Episode 1
The CW’s newest Canadian import, Trickster, premieres this Tuesday with Trickster Season 1 Episode 1.
The series, based on author, Eden Robinson’s, trilogy, follows Jared, a Haisla teen living in Kitimat, British Columbia as he tries to support his family on his salary from a fast-food job and by making and selling ecstasy.
Weird things start to happen though. Things that will send Jared down a path that will reveal his own connection to a supernatural world he had no idea existed.
The series draws on the traditional folklore of the Haisla nation, of which Robinson is a member, and centers the experiences of indigenous characters, making it unlike most of the other sci-fi/fantasy shows on TV.
While a recent controversy about Season 1 showrunner, Michelle Latimer’s, heritage casts an unfortunate shadow on the show’s efforts to be an example of authentic representation, the series source material, as well as its preview images, promise a show that elevates stories and perspectives we don’t see often as well as an intriguing supernatural ride.
