COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Definitely Entertaining submitted by majean on August 5, 2018, 1:29pm The modern families quickly devolve into living rustic life with modern values and standards (the women and girls end up running around in their underwear and occasionally trousers by the end, while the men and boys dispense with their shirts), but I imagine people at the time may have done away with some of their own cultural norms in order to survive, too. The families don't always get along, but they are never boring. Each has their own unique way of choosing to support themselves (not always legally), and I found this an enjoyable - and educational - show.
