Captivating movie !

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

If you enjoy a romanticized view of what it's like to like in a temperate rainforest with an interspersed, yet connected, underground of mountain dwellers then you'll love The Legend of Mick Dodge. This show makes you want to live in the Hoh and have merry adventures amongst the ancient forest canopy and majestic Hoh river.While this show shouldn't be looked at as a how-to guide for living off the land using primitive skills, it is definitely an entertaining view into a life that symbolizes freedom, adventure, and kinship. In this day and age when we're hyperconnected through digital media and decides, it's refreshing to watch a show that's the antithesis of that.

There's something magical about The Legend of Mick Dodge. Through Mick's yearly rituals and day-to-day activities with his forest dwelling friends, he reawakens the viewer to the majesty of nature, and the connection that we've lost. He makes you want to run outdoors barefoot, and sleep under the sky, and forage for stone soup. There are plenty of other shows about survivalists. Mick Dodge is not a survivalist - he simply loves nature, and spends much of his time there. This show is about reconnecting with our roots. Mick dwells in civilization just long enough to get certain needs met (like the occasional burger in town) and then he's off to the woods again. This is truly celebrating "the middle way!"

Of all the shows out there its hard enough to find one with anything to offer let alone featuring someone you actually like. I started off skeptical seeing a barefoot wildman running through the bush but was hooked by the end of the first episode. I like Mick Dodge.. man, compared to the Chumlee's of the world this guy is solid. Mick Dodge is not a fake if he's got a storyline to follow. How can you criticize a TV show for being a TV show? Unless of course you have yet to produce your first show. You actually need to shoot 40+ hours for every 1 hour of edited show. Need it to be watchable? Then you have to break it down into 1 adventure per show and it needs to be planned out - in other words, scripted. Challenge: Take a camera crew into the bush and film 1 guy with no shoes and try capture the attention of people watching Kounts Customs. Seriously. Good job. Im a fan - zufo

I love this show not because of the viewing value but it's just darn so much fun! #1) When Mick finds the final piece of the puzzle to his family secrets there is a brand new clean un weathered rope hanging from the upper limbs! #2) Google Earth is pervasively a monster in which one can find any and all things on the face of earth. CARLS HOUSE!!! What was the crew thinking by giving us a long shot of the house? I found it with ease. #3) That whole deal about boiling the few crabs and then taking a steam in the same cooled down soup was...well.. a nice bit of TV, but a stupid bit of work. Since we all know the leathers would absorb any smell of the crabs and certainly there was fresh water to boil and.... I'll just stop there. I love this show. We watch it. We love the Hoh and fly fishing there. So guys be a little bit more careful with the POV.
