Frankie G @RT02580845 2d After watching the complete series, it's evident the people that operate at the highest level of Lowes are severely detached from the heartbeat of Amercians. When you watch this, you will be confused with what the point even is. It's a sad and pathetic narrative packaged with how they donated millions for the chance to film areas that don't even make sense. They chose the poorest locations and didnt even use half the footage they filmed with students learning and building things. The point was to re-energize the trades sector and get the younger generation excited to work in skill trades. Instead you have random stories about old people trying to make ends meet in a tough economy. Gen Z will not watch this trash and even if they did, how is showing them old people who are telling sob stories get them excited. Absolute garbage save the time and watch YouTube creators who will actually teach you and show you what is possible within these fields. See more Read all reviews
