Heartland
DVD
Last
night I finished season eight of Heartland. This Canadian series is
one of my favorites at the moment. It follows a family on a horse
farm in Alberta. Way back in season one, it begins with Amy, the main
character loosing her mother in a road accident. Afterwards, she
takes over her mother's job as the local horse whisperer. Her sister
Lou returns from New York to help keep the farm running and
Grandfather Jack agrees to look after Ty a teenager with a troubled
past. The stories follow their ups and and downs over the many
seasons.
This
is primarily a family drama about horses, ranching and small town
life in Alberta. Its full of interesting characters that will appeal
to both young and older viewers. Since it is now in it's ninth or
tenth season you will have plenty of time to really get to know all
the characters and their stories. While this series isn't as conflict
driven and suspenseful as Mcleod's Daughters, another family drama,
and long running series set in Australia, which remains my all time
favorite, it is nonetheless one that I have enjoyed watching. I
can't wait to start season nine as soon as I get a copy from amazon.
Let
me know what you think if you have a chance to watch this DVD.
