Grander outdoor adventures ensue but not so much in the somber pilot. Even after that, it will be the stories around the dinner table that will bring viewers back. That, and, perhaps, a penguin named Tux... Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 03/22/2019

David H. @DEHFL May 12 Season 1 was good, but be forewarned that the show was not renewed so you will be left hanging with a lot of open questions that were meant to be resolved in Season 2. Very disappointing to invest hours in a series with no conclusions. See more John M @RT90672788 05/25/2025 The only reason I watched to the end was to find out what the wife did or didn't do. The script was forced and formula. The actors were stereotype and mediocre at best. They must have assumed they would have a second season. Surprise. They didn't. They didn't deserve it. We deserved to at least get a deus ex machina. See more Mario C @RT00568997 03/13/2023 OK show but the scriptwriting was terrible. Could not get through 1 episode. See more 11/29/2021 It is one of the most appalling shows I've seen in a long time. The script: disjointed, predictable and NObody talks like that. Acting: stilted. Cinematography: obvious. See more 02/07/2021 Had to stop after two episodes - extremely strange depiction of loss. Completely tone deaf. Really odd focus on trivial things, rushed introduction of the loss of the mother, no heart. Just no real understanding of how to depict grief. Really hard for anyone to watch who's actually lost a close family member. See more 12/21/2020 Season 2 please!!!!! On the 3rd time watching it and it still hits the same as watching it for the first time. There is drama and a whole lot of emotion with some action mixed in always taking you on an emotional rollercoaster!!!! See more Read all reviews
