My son (city-raised) told me about the first season of Clarkson's Farm, and I devoured it... the second season is even better. I am from a ranching background and though the Clarkson project is on an utterly different budget and plane, it is supremely enjoyable, funny and thought-provoking. All of the characters are pure and fantastic, none more so than Kaleb but of course Charlie, Jerry, Lisa and the unnamed camera crew (and editors) capturing so many exquisite details that brighten the story. I am mostly impressed by Jeremy's determination in the face of obstacle after obstacle and the eloquence of his cuss words... that is the part I have taken away with me. Though his delight in machinery of any size is also compelling. What a great show.

I dunno... I adore Tig Notaro so I will support anything she does. Reese Witherspoon is such a smart lovely actor. The filming is beautiful despite frequent split screens that make it seem like a zoom call. It's kinda clunky and utterly predictable in the narrative department but, well... er. What the heck. Watch it, it won't hurt you. It won't affect you much at all and some good people got to work (that's always good)

This was refreshing and intelligent and remarkable. Totally worth watching and waiting for more.

So good and delightful, treading the fine line between surreal and inspiring, uplifting without being maudlin.
