Postcards From...Frelighsburg (2025)

-Written by Kyle Bain.

Christa Couture travels Canada looking for the most interesting and unique things that the vast country has to offer. She meets new people, experiences new things, and takes a crew with her in order to showcase her findings for the world to see. She now finds herself in Frelighsburg, a charming town with deep roots and an extensive history. In this installment of Christa’s documentary series, Postcards from…Frelighsburg, she looks for her most intriguing ventures yet, and we’re along for the ride. 

Christa’s ability to be concise, yet incredibly descriptive in her explanation of the places she’s visited is charming, and an easy access point for viewers, as they’ve likely never experienced many of things that they’ll see on screen in Postcards from…. Postcards from…Frelighsburg sees Christa doing what she does best: making friends and showcasing the beauty of Canada. Viewers quickly become immersed in Frelighsburg, and they quickly understand the historical significance of the small town that has likely flown under your radar for some time. Christa’s charm, as well as her descriptive tongue are the primary reasons as to why Postcards from…Frelighsburg finds success, and why I’m almost certain that I’ll find my way back to this series in order to experience the rest of what Canada has to offer. 

Additionally, what this team of filmmakers surrounding Christa does that is wildly important is ensure that each installment of this series (now in its sixth season) doesn’t run too long. Get in and get out might as well be the motto of this filmmaking team–as they take this sentiment to heart, never overstaying their welcome, and ultimately possessing the ability to usher in a new series of viewers each and every time a new episode is released. Postcards from…Frelighsburg covers a series of powerful moments, but, again, the episode never lingers on anything for too long–providing viewers with just the right amount of information. 

Those individuals in charge of capturing the natural beauty of Frelighsburg never falter on their journey, delivering vivid and masterful images that have the ability to astound viewers at every turn. Christa is the voice of Postcards from…, though they do an exceptional job of ensuring that she never becomes the focus, even in the moments when she’s afforded the opportunity to share the intimate details of her life. She’s rarely framed in a way that steals from the episode’s purpose, while remaining the driving force behind this series as a whole. 

Postcards from…Frelighsburg is an immersive experience that does far more than I believe potential viewers would anticipate, and likely even more than it needs to in order to find success. Something of a cathartic experience, Postcards from…Frelighsburg wows from the opening moments.
