Really enjoying this series. Something a bit different, a break from the European dark forest or Scandi dramas that are 2 a penny these days.
Green frontier does a great job of juxtaposing two worlds; that of the indigenous tribes, and that of the Christian capitalists. A very relevant theme considering the long drawn out fall out of European colonialism and the decimation that continues in its wake to this day; apparently in the name of progress.
This episode is unfortunately a bit... meh.
Although it progresses the narrative (albeit very slightly) it comes across as a bit fractured and repetitive. This is not uncommon for many series these days so hopefully this one will be max 2 or 3 meh episodes and achieve 50%+ for watchability. If the series was more gripping overall then I'd give it an 8.
Generally speaking for me, highly recommended viewing. It's helped remind me to remain humble in the face of nature.....always only a few events away from tearing you apart.
