    Interesting characters but problems with repetition & fear of the law.

    You come to really like some of these guys. The problem is that they keep trying to change things up because the show has run so long. Every moonshine season they can't be doing the same thing they did the last season. They honestly come from moonshine ancestors. I really don't like it when they act like they're afraid of "the law" since they have permission from authorities to film the show. I guess they could be trying to show how things were. As an aside, the story of Popcorn Sutton is interesting. There's a lot more to it than they show. The guy says I'd rather be dead than go to prison. I've seen it in my work. It's not really unusual.

    Entertaining, but desperate editing tries why to hard, to make it more exciting, than it is

    An interesting (although shallow) look, into the production of Moonshine. Although there is a lot of talk about the heritage and dying art of making moonshine, it's obviously the (repeatably labeled 'TAX FREE') money, that is the primary motivation for the moonshiners involved.

    The shows strongest asset, is its many likable personalities. However the desperately bad attempts by the producers, to edit the show into suggesting, that the moonshiners are constantly on the verge of being caught by the police, really sticks out and make the show seem more like another bad run of the mill reality show, rather than what it could and should be: A honest depiction of the life and challenges, of modern day moonshiners.

    Decent but has flaws

    Most reviews point out the tiresome misleading exaggerations and lies. My complaint is whenever one of them gets hurt, they carry on about paying "Doctor Bills". We don't have debtor prisons, even in the South, so please stop.

    Tks We know how much they get paid per episode; so whining about Dr bills right out of the gate of an injury is borderline fraud and a slap in the face to the truly impoverished and disabled trying to live off of average 1700.00 a month. I do like that the editors stay away from politics.

    It has been a couple of seasons since I last saw a pet. Maybe bring in a puppy or 2.

    Great Show!

    Moonshining was a way of life in America at one time! It's part of this great country's history! Entertaining show, I love it!
