it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Have watched Alaska The Last Frontier since the first season. All of the family members contribute something of value to the show except Jane and yet every year she gets more and more airtime - WHY? She tries to be so smart, funny, and accomplished in everything she does but she is none of those things. She can't hunt or fish and is just a clutz no matter what she has been assigned to do. If you continue to highlight her as the "star" of the show we will not be able to continue watching this series. This opinion is shared by all of our friends and relatives who we've talked to.

How many "cattle drives" and "hunting and fishing for survival" can Discovery milk from this show? I used to love this show due to the family dynamic. I loved the way the relationships between the Kilchers were not always flowery but that human emotions would erupt and then the family would work it out. But now it is just hard to watch the same themes play out every season. I think the biggest put-off for me is the narrating. I dislike the way that moments are made up to be more dramatic than they actually are (e.g., hunting for survival, the flare and how much "danger" the girls were in, the fake predator threats, etc). I do like Eivan's projects. I do like the Christmas gift making and giving. I like the idea of the homesteading lifestyle but don't act like these people don't have cell phones, a grocery store isn't nearby, other people don't live nearby, and please don't think your audience is a bunch of idiots (if you are filming someone, they are not in real danger because there is a cameraman right there with a communication device and don't forget about the rules and regulations about filming safety). Don't Bear Grylls me again Discovery.

I actually watch this show because I am entertained by it and the family characters are amusing.But, let's face it, the show is contrived and staged.Every week, we are treated to the next "Gotta get this done before winter" emergency fulfilled with an old "insert recycled item here" Example: Using an old semi flatbed to make a cow feeding station. After using a 100K bulldozer to move the bed, we will use commercial lumber that mysteriously appears to make the paddocks. Along with acetylene torches and various other power tools. Where do they get the tanks of acetylene? I guess they take the family barge to town?! But wait, why didn't they just BUY a feeding station? After all, they are multi-millionaires?
