Dreadful (with some decent visuals)
The good: Some of the cinematography is stunning.
The bad: Everything else.
I couldn't make it through the first episode. The premise is basically Timothy Olyphant anthropomorphizing every animal and all of their actions. And if that's not bad enough he is doing it in his monotone Deadwood accent. "A spotted owl homesteader dad is trying' to raise his young'uns alone". "Slick the banana slug may be dressed up fancy but he works as the local farmer". As so it goes on ad nauseam.
Visually the show is well shot and looks incredible with some great aerial views and beautiful close-ups. But it is impossible to get past Olyphant's droning narration and the awful, awful script.
