Rust Valley Restorers is about a business trying to be a business, and not a rusty car hoard or a charity shop. The owner Mike, a dreadlocked white guy, is charismatic, big hearted, and a shrew. His numerous good-willed, but ultimately financially unfeasible decisions cause family tension and an overall pessimism about whether the business will stay afloat. Watching it is a good lesson in business sense. I originally liked watching the series because of Mike's charisma, and the builds, but after a while thought some of his and the shop's aesthetic decisions were either too safe or too avante garde for the clients.
It's fun to watch restorations to take place and to watch real business transactions take place. I recommend this show even though it's not a favorite.
