My favorite of the AK shows, relaxing music that's minimal, much less scripted than the others, great photography, more basic living than most of the other AK shows etc. I have all 4 seasons backed up and watch them all now and again, it's just too bad they didn't continue but I can understand that once you've seen the year round a few times it's not going to change that much so ratings aren't going to be the best. Heimo is great to watch, the Seldens also good. Charlie is interesting with his more solitary existence, his flying and building his cabin. I didn't care too much for Bob, it's a tragedy what happened but he was not really mentally balanced and seemed to almost break out in tears a lot, perhaps shouldn't have been on the show after his illness got worse, so season 2 or so. They dragged that out too much and I wasn't too interested in the daughter or ex. The family with the daughters was somewhat interesting. Later on when all sorts of family show up, probably the shows idea and paid for, it can be overdone at times. Get the sense that none of Heimos children would go there other than for the show, they're not into the isolation and rugged lifestyle. I didn't like the brother/sister burying their father thing at all, just filler. So the Seldens, Heimo and Charlie are my favs.
