Gritty look at loggers' lives is intense entertainment.
Parents need to know that this reality series -- which follows the crew of a Maine logging company -- offers an honest look at the hard work, financial uncertainty, and inherent dangers that come with the job. This gritty show often explores real-life issues that are too intense for little kids (a man loses his home to fire and barely pulls out of diabetic shock, for example), and loggers talk frankly about the injuries they've endured on the job. Tensions run high when the company's owners disagree, but overall the show celebrates their work ethic and determination.
