Big Timber

There's too many armchair critic reviews about drama being manufactured by making it seem like this family could go out of business. 'Look how much they're making on those big logs, they have tons of money'. Spoken like someone who's collected a W2 paycheck their entire life. They make a lot of money, but they also have a lot of bills to pay. The pressure this owner feels to keep his business afloat is very real and is demonstrated when they go to an auction of a competitor that went out of business. 'He loses his cool to easy'. Start your own business and see if you do half as well as this guy.

I enjoyed learning a little about the logging business and really enjoyed watching this business owner navigate the challenges of owning a family business and working with his wife and kids. As a fellow business owner, I really related with him and I didn't find any of the drama manufactured or fake. The scenery itself is worth watching this entertaining show.

In a time where global warming is known to be affected by the clear cutting of old growth forests it is extremely disappointing that Netflix would promote/create a show glamorizing the industry. Protestors are putting their lives on the line trying to protect the ecosystem you are encouraging people to revel in the old growth destruction.

I thought it was cool to see how the last privately owned, remember that, works and makes things work. I thought all the people were very good.

I enjoyed this series, and would've rated it higher if it wasn't for the awful soundtrack. Do we really need thumping drums and 1980s high school guitar riffs the whole time? And, as other reviewers have mentioned, do we have to suffer the bogus melodrama and false tension throughout the series? These people are loggers, not transplant surgeons or air traffic controllers. The dizzying editing is all over the place. However, I liked the people, and I enjoyed the series. If there is another series, keep the music to a minimum please.

I hope there will be a season 2. And for people saying they're ruining the forest, they replant the trees to renew the forest. It's sustainable. Go live in a cave if you don't like it.
