Envoyez du bois!

This show is way too over dramatic for what it is. It is clearly produced with ad breaks in mind because every 5 or 10 minutes there is a sudden life-threatening or business-ending scenario that only seconds later, after a jump cut, is either resolved or downplayed.

Used to watch bunch of stuff on History. Glad that Netflix is putting out some content like this 👍 Really Enjoyable!

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.

This show is about the Weinstob family and their employees working at a mill on Vancouver Island and we also see other parts of this great island and beautiful nature. What is impressive is how the boss Kevin Weinstob, and also his employees and family tackle everyday challenges with ingenuity and admirable effort to survive in a world of timber industry which favors big industry compared to this small mill.

There is some talk in the reviews about this series glorifying the timber industry and cutting down trees and forests. That is so wrong. Timber industry is actually environmentally friendly. It is way worse to live in concrete and steel housings and forests are reusable industry which we must harvest.

What better way of honoring this tradition by watching this show showing the lives of everyday honest canadian workers making their dough ? I cheer for these people more than big mill industry !

PS ! I have several times seen multiple episodes in a row and season two is now out on Netflix ! Binge-worthy !

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!
