But things begin to unravel for Nathan when a campaign is launched by the city's mayor and its citizens for a statue of his ancestor Lawrence Rutherford to be removed.

Amid a reassessment of Larry's treatment of the local Native American community, Nathan battles awkwardly to preserve his family's history and the "Big Larry" sculpture while also trying to save face. 

With what is said to be one of the latest indigenous-staffed writers’ rooms on US television behind it, the show looks set to confront the heavy subject of American colonisation while somehow maintaining a light enough tone to work as a primetime comedy. 

Read on as we explain how to watch Rutherford Falls and stream the new comedy show online with Peacock today.

How to watch Rutherford Falls online in Canada 

(opens in new tab)

NBC has a deal with Corrus Entertainment in Canada that allows the network's channels to broadcast Peacock Originals in the Great White North after they've aired in the US.

That means Rutherford Falls episodes air in Canada from Thursday, April 29 on linear TV via the Showcase (opens in new tab) channel, starting off with back-to-back episodes at 8pm ET/PT, with the channel widely available through Canadian cable providers. There's also set to be a special presentation of episode one on Global at 8 pm ET/PT.

Showcase doesn't currently offer a streaming-only option, however. For that, you'll need to have a STACKTV add-on to a Prime Video subscription. You can take advantage of a FREE Prime Video trial (opens in new tab) in Canada today, with STACK also offering a few days of viewing on the house, and it'll have all episodes available for streaming from the same date.

If you're outside of Canada or that just sounds too complicated, don't worry - just throw a good VPN (opens in new tab) in your backpack and you can stream your favorite shows and services just like you would at home.
