Back in Time for Winter (2020)
Very disappointing
So far I've watched 1940 and 1950. I was disappointed to see that the family experiencing these years appeared to be so negative about pretty much everything! They didn't seem to have insight into the trials and tribulations of the 1940's during wartime, and why they had to eat beef heart etc. All they did was complain, and the mother and father didn't even try to explain to the kids or use this experience as a wonderful insight into what went on in Canada in the past. What a waste of an opportunity. The mum didn't seem prepared or willing to learn new things or use them properly - for example the washer or pressure cooker - and complained when she couldn't interpret the instructions and made no effort to investigate - just constant complaining. The father unfortunately wasn't much better. He was like Dagwood Bumstead and couldn't even drive a screw, or learn to do so. Hanging the window box was simple 'that will do'.
This could have been such a rich learning experience, but is turning out to be nothing more than a documentary on whining.
