“I really enjoyed Season 1 from Laist Studios. It did an excellent job of portraying what The Big One was, why it's expected, and how people should react before, during and after that event. But this season, which they represent in their own byline as a survival guide for wildfires, is anything but.
Six episodes in, we're still just talking about prescribed burns. And we get it, they're effective, native peoples invented them, we should respect their knowledge and revive the practice on a national scale. We even get a hearty helping of white guilt. What we don't get, is any discussion of how people should react before, during and after a wildfire.
There are some fascinating relevant stories told. We follow a native tribal leader on a prescribed burn, getting a first hand view of how it impacts the land, or a wildfire survivor recounts how he scrambled to a residential pool and fought for his life in the water for hours. And those stories could have been part of a larger narrative of how to react to disaster.
It just seems like they lost the plot of what they set out to create here. It's a shame, because there are a ton of aspects I would have loved to hear about. Hopefully they'll get back to the narrative in Season 3.”Read full review »
