another mostly staged 'reality' show structured around the most implausible premise: that people will travel miles through the bush, take long boat rides, plane rides, to look at house not knowing how much it costs; no one does that; but the idea is you'll be watching, then, finally, the question arises- how much is it- then cut to commercial and you'll stay to find out; but too often the top end budget is, for example, 300k, and after seeing a few dogs under the limit there's the nice one they like- for 450k; then there are the majestic mountainside homes sporting endless vistas in all direction- and some very nice scenery for sure- turns out on a 1/4-acre lot? given the alaskan setting, the show also suffers form dwelling on decor, and endless versions of 'i really like that kitchen', or 'not enough closets'- instead of details about structure, heating, insulation and more that are unusual in much of alaska; supposedly, buyers are motivated to be in an unusual and challenging place, but you'd never know it from the empty-headed, scripted comment
