Alaska: The Last Frontier (2011)
About a family who lives it basic in Alaska
It starts out pretty slow. Mostly about caring for a heard of cows. As it goes on you get to met ever member of the Kilcher family. Including Jewel the actor/ singer/ songwriter/ and the Masked singer. By the 5-6 series you get to see some blood and gore with Atz Lee. They are very, either careless or not up to doing the task any there are several injuries that happen. If you don't like hunting for your food and field dressing the animals, this show is not for you. If you want to learn about where your food comes from and what it takes for them to get it to make it through Alaskan seasons, then it's fun and interesting to watch. They are a funny family. Otto has a temper, but as he gets older, especially after he gets hurt, he mellows out. Hearing the back stories of how they came to be is very interesting. I love the show and watch it over and over.
Heartland (2007)
Good series, but
Some episodes are tearjerkers, others were beautiful. Lou is a nonsensical character that is not played well and like others have said, she drives me crazy. I watched 14 seasons by binge watching. There were some I would rather have skipped. There's always a gotcha to watch the next episode though. The last show of one season kills you until you watch the next season. Especially season 13-14.
The horses are beautiful and the way Amy (Amber) treats each horse as almost human, is amazing. She and Georgie are great with them.
Jack is a wonderful character who has his own demons to deal with, but bottles them up. He is so kind with the children and since the premise of the show is to treat or improve children's lives by teaching them to love themselves and love the horses, who truly give back. Ty being the troubled child at the beginning and a doctor/ father and great human being and husband, really takes you through his issues and demons too. Amy losing her mom right at the beginning makes you understand why she wants to follow in her footsteps and be a good role model to the kids as well. She's amazing.
Loved the series. There are some subtle jokes in there if you catch them. Caleb is a character too. Talented cast.
