"Just Buck It." That's one of the catchphrases viewers might pick up on after watching this docuseries that suspiciously looks like the "Jersey Shore" of rural West Virginia. "Buckwild" follows a group of carefree and adventurous college-age friends living in the Mountain State, where they enthusiastically display their love of small-town life and passion for living it boundary-free and to the fullest. The cast includes sociable high-school prom king Shain; nursing student Shae; Joey, Shain's best friend; lady killer Tyler; soft-hearted Katie; and recent college graduate Salwa, the oldest of the group.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Buckwild squanders a memorable batch of personalities with its heavily scripted tomfoolery, emphasizing Appalachian stereotypes at the expense of any organic drama.

We've seen it all before. The one bright spot is the unpretentious, unselfconscious Shain, who is unencumbered by book learnin' and happier than a hog in slop. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 05/14/2020
Even if these kids aren't acting, they damn well know by now what's going to garner attention and screen time. The only problem is as titles go, "BUCKCALCULATED" is kind of a mouthful. Go to Full Review Austin Bernhardt AV Club 05/14/2020
O, were that Buckwild were all about Shain! Instead, viewers are saddled with a retinue of reality-TV stock types that has become as predictable as commedia dell'arte. Go to Full Review David Jacoby Grantland 05/14/2020
Without the spectacle, shock, and pageantry that Jersey Shore boasted, Buckwild has to rely on its cast to carry an audience. And while Shain is the most charming garbage man since the legendary LeRoy, I could care less about his love life. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 05/14/2020
The whole show feels fake, overly produced and contrived. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
