Plot
editBeef Tobin is a single father living in the fictional town of Lone Moose, Alaska with his four children Wolf, Ham, Judy, and Moon, as well as Wolf's wife Honeybee. Beef's life is centered on raising his children and keeping the family together. He is sometimes overbearing and smothering, but his deep love for his family is a central theme in each episode in the series.[9]
Voice cast
editMain
edit- Nick Offerman as Beef Tenderloin Tobin, a fisherman and divorced father of four. Beef is still coming to terms with being abandoned by his ex-wife Kathleen. He spent years pretending that she died tragically, despite all of the Tobin children knowing the truth. He is a supportive father who encourages his children to love and respect others, although he sometimes struggles with the many changes happening in their lives and worries that they will grow apart.[2]
- Jenny Slate as Judy Tobin, an artistically inclined sixteen-year-old and Beef's only daughter. Judy loves her family, sharing a deep bond with her "Alaskan twin" brother Ham (they are not actual twins, but were born 9 months apart). She dreams of exploring the world beyond their small, remote hometown.[2]
- Will Forte as Wolf Tobin, Beef's oldest son and Honeybee's husband. A sensitive and optimistic young man, Wolf longs to make his father proud, although his eagerness often puts him beyond his depth.[2]
- Dulcé Sloan as Honeybee Shaw, Wolf's wife. Confident and adventurous, she moved from her hometown of Fresno after falling in love with Wolf, and is now adapting to life in a small Alaskan fishing town.[2]
- Paul Rust as Ham Tobin, Beef's middle son. Ham is openly gay, which his family embraces. He shares a deep bond with his "Alaskan twin" sister Judy, and they often collaborate on creative endeavors. He enjoys baking, and secretly becomes the town's "cake lady" after the previous one was arrested.[2] He is the lead singer of Messengers of Chaos, Lone Moose's first punk band.
- Aparna Nancherla as Moon Tobin, Beef's youngest son, who shares Beef's stoic demeanor and passion for outdoorsmanship. Despite being only 10 years old, Moon is unafraid of the intimidating Alaskan wildlife, and is often seen building traps for various animals (from ruffed grouse to Bigfoot) or exploring the wilderness around the family home. Moon wears a bear-like onesie almost all the time, even to school.[2]
Recurring
edit- Tim Bagley as Dwayne Gibbons, the principal of Lone Moose School.
- Sarah Baker as Police Chief Edna, the chief of police in Lone Moose, who also owns the town boatyard and a sticker store. Baker also voiced Mary, the owner of a dance studio in Death Cliff, in the episode "Dances with Wolfs Adventure".

Harrison also voiced Momma Marita in "Tasteful Noods Adventure".
- David Herman as Gill Beavers, a boy with an unrequited crush on Judy, and Santiago Carpaccio, a tall, quiet resident of Lone Moose who speaks in a non-specific Southern European accent. Herman also voices Ivan, an elderly fisherman in Lone Moose, plus other characters.
- Aloysius Hootch as Delmer, an octogenarian Yup'ik man who owns a curling rink.

- Martha Kelly as Bethany Bupatutti, a classmate of Ham and Judy. Bethany speaks in a monotone voice, dresses in a punk/goth style, and has a variety of eccentric interests and beliefs, such as owning a "haunted" porcelain doll, planning for defence against pirate attacks, and asserting that reality is a simulation that makes everyone's choices for them. Bethany plays drums under the name "Bethany Bones" in Messengers of Chaos, Ham's punk band.
- Jane Lynch as Dirtrude "Aunt Dirt" Tobin, the elder sister of Beef's father. In the season 4 episode "Aunt Misbehavin' Adventure", Aunt Dirt is discovered living in a fallout shelter on the Tobin's property, where she had been hiding since March 27, 1964, after mistaking an earthquake for a Soviet invasion. Aunt Dirt is a lesbian, and it is insinuated that part of the reason for her extended isolation was being heartbroken over her secret girlfriend, Melinda, marrying a man in Wasilla, which Dirt learned about on the same day as the earthquake.
- Monique Moreau as Dr. French, Lone Moose's veterinarian.
- Alanis Morissette as Alanis Morissette, Judy's interpretation of the acclaimed singer and her apparent imaginary friend who only appears in the Aurora Borealis. Judy often speaks to her for guidance on certain things.

- Paul F. Tompkins as Theodore Golovkin, a teacher at the Lone Moose school with a brusque manner, an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and a passion for film noir, home-brewed kombucha, and model trains. Mr. Golovkin is in a relationship with Ms. Anderson, another teacher at Lone Moose School. Tompkins also voices a traffic cop in the episode "Cheese All That Adventure", and a cruise ship captain in "You've Got Sail Adventure".
- Julio Torres (seasons 1-3) and Juan Castano (from season 3's "Rear Genius Adventure" onwards) as Crispin Cienfuegos, Ham's boyfriend, who moved to Lone Moose from Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his family, and has a part-time job at the smoothie stand at the mall.
- Ariel Tweto as Kima Evanoff, Judy's best friend and a Native Alaskan (in "High Expectations Adventure", Kima says she is Sugpiaq and Athabascan).

In the season 4 episode "Cheese All That Adventure", Carissa opens a coffee shop, Scone Moose.

editOn September 28, 2018, when the series was first announced, a cast of Nick Offerman, Jenny Slate, Megan Mullally, Paul Rust, Aparna Nancherla, Will Forte, and Dulcé Sloan was presented.[1] On June 22, 2020, it was stated that Alanis Morissette would voice herself in the series.[2]
Broadcast
editIn Canada, the series aired on Citytv for its first season.[17]

Reception
editCritical response
editOn Rotten Tomatoes, the series' first season holds an approval rating of 100% based on 15 reviews, with an average rating of 7.9/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "As cozy as a night spent relaxing by the fireplace with your favorite funny people, The Great North is a delightfully hilarious addition to Fox's Animation Domination lineup."[23] On Metacritic (which uses a weighted average), the season has a score of 77 out of 100 based on 10 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[24]
Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter praised the performances of the actors and complimented the humor of the series, comparing it to Bob's Burgers, while noting that the series made token references to Indigenous representation and said it should embrace those more in future episodes, writing, "Then again, with memorable characters (captured in that familiar Bento Box Entertainment style), running credit gags and catchy episode-closing songs, I don't think Bob's Burgers as reimagined by somebody who just watched Northern Exposure would be such a bad thing anyway."[25] Margaret Lyons of The New York Times praised the humor of the show, saying the series recalls Bob's Burgers and seems to act as a spin-off, writing, "This new comedy by some of the folks from Bob's Burgers isn't technically a spinoff, but it might as well be — in a good way! [...] like many comedies, it gets funnier as it goes along, but it has a silly sweetness from the start."[26]
Joyce Slaton of Common Sense Media rated the series 4 out of 5 stars, praised the depiction of positive messages and role models, calling some of the characters lovable, supportive, and tolerant, and complimented the humor and the diversity of the cast, writing, "There's a strong streak of sweetness in this comedy, particularly in the way that family love is strong and central. The show clearly has a love for oddballs, and the humor is gentle and non-mocking."[27] Ben Travers of IndieWire gave the series a B+ grade, called The Great North a "worthy successor to Bob's Burgers", stating the series manages to keep its own identity even across its similarities with Bob's Burgers, praised the animation of the show for its color palette, while noting The Great North is the only animated Fox comedy with a black family member saying, "After decades spent churning out Simpsons clones, Fox is finally building off its other, nicer, animated sitcom — with encouraging results."[28]
