“The Porter” imagines stories built upon a century-old piece of history, which will be news to a lot of viewers. That news is also seriously engaging entertainment.

An eight-episode drama teeming with compelling characters and a series that’s deeply committed to making the trials and tribulations of its characters part of an entertaining, hectic world fuelled by music, talent and ambition.

To say The Porter is groundbreaking is an understatement. The visual aesthetic is something that we’ve never seen before on Canadian television, depicting a somewhat dark yet inspirational aspect of Canadian history most of us never knew about.

'The Porter’s' ability to look like a moving work of art turns it into a much-needed revelation of hidden history. You really do want to watch the show just on how every frame sits like a portrait, even if that portrait includes pain or glamour.
Rated: 4.5/5

I always find a television series to be more interesting when it is based on true events.
I really can't see why there's no season 2.
Bet+, I think yall should look into this one.
