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.

This show is made for the Tik Tok audience. Just watch the opening sequence. They don't even give you a half second to look at anything... just cut cut cut cut and the show is based around poorly written narration and boring forced reality drama.

It's reheated, reheated, reheated reality show leftovers. I only lasted 20 minutes. Too much quality content in the world to waste more time on it. If you like logging, you're better off with YouTube logging documentaries.

There's a drone shot every 60 seconds... which in 2021 is quite boring if it's used for filler- which it is.

Let's see, what else... they had to blur the Ford logo on the guys truck because the producers think they are going to get sued by Ford. Lol! That's SUCH lazy filmmaking! A simple conversation with Ford gets you permission. Especially with the unprecedented platform of Netflix and the flailing Ford industry.

And the music is insultingly cliche. Netflix just whiffed the ball on this one at every bar.

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.

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.

Who knew the insane amount of effort it takes to get some nice Cedar!? These dudes are inventive, hard working maniacs!! I really enjoyed this show!
