THE PLOT THUS FAR
Hold on to your hunting hats! The Robertsons are back in Season 4 of Duck Dynasty® and they’ve have never had so much Southern charm.
WHAT WE THOUGHT
“Duck Dynasty” is an oddity of a show, when you don’t bother to investigate its creation. But, let’s go out of our way to forget the events of the last two weeks and examine the ten episodes presented here. Basically, Jesus and rednecks team up to hunt water fowl with forced sitcom shenanigans. The cool one looks like the dude from My Morning Jacket and everyone else looks like you can taste their body odor before they enter a room. Let us all forget the hatchet job GQ Interview and remember that these guys are what they are.
The Robertson Family also inspires a lot of people who feel threatened by the last two decades of progress. In their minds, this is a real world attempt at creating a Mayberry that can turn a blind eye to racial and gender politics. It’s fun to watch Phil try to teach his granddaughter to fish, after he told men to marry teenage girls. One has to place the scene into context, but the episode ends before it gets creepy. I was enjoying how the material was treading towards a backwoods Lynchian tale. The rest of the season seems to be the guys betting and people learning how to cook rural grub. Laughs are had, while the coastal Americans slowly realize that there is a sizable population that rejects everything they believe.
The Blu-Ray comes with unseen material, deleted scenes and webisodes. The A/V Quality sports a dynamic DTS-HD 2.0 master audio track. The 1080p transfer is a little flat for HD and dry. It’s not the worse, but it stands out. In the end, I’d recommend a purchase to fans.
