The promo on Netflix (yes they suck but I am a guest here) makes it look like the history of the fur industry will be front and center.

Has anybody watched it and is it worth a mans time?


I'd like to hear from everyone who has seen it, even those dern yankees! grin

I've watched it.
Can get brutal at times.
Not sure what your expecting to get.
But mostly about fighting for the fur markets in that era.
If i remember right.

Watched the first season, so far. Haven't got back to the rest yet. Pretty bloody at times, but a good watch.

Too much soap opera and gore. Needed more solitude, wild country, wildlife, and trapping.

I haven’t watched Frontier but liked “Longmire”. It’s a modern day western type series.


Looks like he needs another year;-)

Thanks guys I watched a couple episodes and you are right. It's heavy on fighting and light of the taking of fur but I'm enjoying it anyway.

Overly gory, but somewhat entertaining. How much truth is there in the story, meaning the fight between HBC and other fur traders?

The first season was watchable, the second season started getting weird, and became even more unrealistic. The end episode seemed like the writers got bored and gave up....

You dont know the history of the fur trade?The rivalrys were brutal and long lasting-a couple of centurys.
The worst were the trade wars between 1783 and 1821.Widespread dispair and death.
After 1861 the HBC emerged with a monopoly.

I never watched the hollywood show version so dont know how realistically it has been portrayed there.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
