Duck Dynasty (2012–2017)
7/10
Gets old and dumb after season 3
17 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The first 3 seasons were great but it should've ended right there. For whatever reason the characters stop going duck hunting after season 3 and the show focuses more on petty family drama. You can tell even in the first three seasons that it's clearly scripted and the characters are caricatures of themselves but it's entertaining at least. You can't say that about the later seasons.

I guess you can't do much with a show about duck hunting and making duck calls but this show does get creative in the first 3 seasons. There's episodes where they go frog hunting on Willie's golf course and get arrested after sending Phil and Si to to Willie's kids career day, another episode where they build a duck blind out of an old trailer on Phil and Kay's property, and another where they take Willie's RV on a roadtrip to get some ATVs just to name a few.

I also can't help but think Willie in real life isn't as much of a buzzkill or pretentious snob as he's portrayed in the show. All in all it's a pretty good show but as I said I would've put it out to pasture after season 3. I understand that's not how networks work though as all they care about is making money.
