Meh...
Its sort of interesting I suppose ... She moves to Tasmania.. and this is really just a "travel blog" without the travel.
There's no "guide" here. There's not a great deal of trying to provide informative bits. It's more about her narrating or talking to camera about what she's doing in a very "you must not be looking at the screen" way. So, if you want to know what she's planting in her garden, she'll explain. If you want to know HOW she's cooking something, she doesn't explain at all. If you want to know WHAT she's going to hunt, she'll introduce you to someone new and tell you what or where they are going to "hunt". If you want to know HOW she's hunting, no one really explains much of anything beyond a cursory "common sense" explanation.
So many missed opportunities to be a "guide" -- She catches a flounder, rather than explaining how to clean and prepare it for cooking, you simply see her throw it on a fire. She catches scallops, rather than her explaining how to prepare them for cooking... you just see her cooking. You see a room full of hanging meat.. she COULD have explained how and why it's hanging.. but nope. There's really no attempt to "teach" as would be expected in a "guide".
It's a day to day account of her time at her new home in a new area. Fixing the house, the landscape, making a garden, chopping weeds, shooting with a friend, etc.
The largest thing, for me, is how monotone the episodes are. Her voice doesn't really have any tonal inflection to convey excitement or anything. It's like listening to a TED talk. No variation overall. Simple monotone narration.
While it's interesting... I didn't find it compelling in ANY way. I'm not really vested in how her garden is doing or watching people chop weeds, spread mulch, till the soil, etc. Seems like a great deal of "filler" content overall. Always with the monotone voice over.
I was expecting a GUIDE... nope. It's a "Journal" or "Diary" not a guide.
