Is anyone watching "Homestead Rescue"?

Stumbled across this the other day and finished season 1 (only 6 episodes). I swear, how stupidity isn't the #1 cause of death in this country is beyond me. The things otherwise seemingly intelligent people will do....

Like all 'reality' TV, some of the drama of course is a little contrived but it is worth watching.

Short version, family from Alaska, Father (builder), Son (hunter), Daughter (farmer) go around the country to spend one week helping homesteads on the verge of failing. Stupid is hard to fix....

What streaming service and/or channel is it on?

I've seen a few episodes. Pretty crazy to think these people even thought they could survive homesteading in Alaska.

It's on the Discovery channel. https://go.discovery.com/tv-shows/homestead-rescue
We just cut the cord and watch it on YouTubeTV. Looks like there are some current episodes on regular YouTube but we're trying to watch them in order since there's 6 seasons and I'm assuming the production improves over time (not that it's bad initially).

I haven't seen any in Alaska yet (I don't think). Just the family doing the helping is from there.

You can tell those people know what they are doing and have done it before. The homesteaders on the other hand... just dang...

Well, I guess we're sort of hooked on it. Now I'm trying to figure out how/when I can go start our homestead.
Job, wife.... not cooperating.
