I
requested to review Duck
Dynasty: Season Five
(2014) because
I was really curious about what all the fuss was about this show.
It's not quite as terrible as I imagined and in all honestly sums up
the modern Redneck culture, only here what they are like with lots
and lots of money. The show is light hearted and highly watchable.
The most impressive aspect of the show are the beards that the family
have grown! The focus is more on the inner workings of the family
and the situations that they get themselves in more than about the
actual art of Duck Hunting itself which I was fine with. In a way
this reminds me of the show Pawn
Stars,
only not as intriguing.
This
set features ten episodes spanning two Blu-ray discs including
Boomerang
Becca, Willie's Number Two, Life of Si, From Duck Til' Dawn, Burger
Commander, G.I. Si, Jase and the Argonauts, Fowl Playhouse, The Big
LeCOWski,
and Stand
by Mia.
From
their home in the Louisiana bayou, the Robertson clan has built a
multi-million dollar sporting empire manufacturing duck calls. True
to their roots and not letting the fame and fortune get the better of
them. Watch as they get Billie's goat at their Warehouse and run his
new assistant through the ringer, hear stories told by the crazy
Uncle Si and a ludicrous treasure hunt, and Phil and Miss Kay hosting
a slumber party.
The
transfer on the disc improves upon the original broadcast and is
presented in 1080p high definition and a 1.78:1 Widescreen aspect
ratio. The sound is presented in English 2.0 DTS-HD MA (Master
Audio) Stereo. Spanish subtitles and English SDH are also on the
disc.
Special
Features are only twenty minutes in length but feature 2 deleted
scenes and nine featurettes on the production.
If
you are a fan of redneck comedies or are yourself a duck hunter, then
this show is for you. As for me, I think I'll skip Season
Six.
