Featuring solid work by its entire cast, the series also crafts some truly unique characters that bring the world to life.

Through her use of colour and tone, Latimer visually interweaves the mundane with the mystical, seemlessly blending the interaction between them. While the series falls neatly into the ?supernatural sub-genre? made popular by True Blood, Netflix?s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and, to a lesser extent, Riverdale, Trickster?s style and celebration of Indigenous culture keep the series fresh and engaging. However, as he explores the meaning of his visions, Jared soon discovers that the answer may lie in a tradition that he has long ignored.ĭirected by Michelle Latimer ( ALIAS), Trickster is a dark and mysterious ride through mythology as it collides with the modern era. At first, Jared is able to write them off as wild, drug-induced hallucinations. After he meets a mysterious stranger, Jared?s world is shaken as he begins to see talking ravens and doppelgangers. When his part-time job selling drugs comes to an end, he feels lost within his own unstable, yet familiar, life. Whether he?s dealing with his wild-child mother (Crystle Lightning) or supporting his father (Craig Lauzon), Jared struggles to get through the day, especially financially. Adapted from Eden Robinson?s 2017 novel, Son of a Trickster, CBC?s new series Trickster follows Jared (Joel Oulette), an Indigenous teen who lives his life from one disaster to the next.
