Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardAug 17, 2012
Season 1 Review: Week is about as much a serious social experiment as "Survivor" or "Kid Nation," but the production qualities are strong for a cable reality show and its subjects are fascinating as they react to the new world order Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's too soon to tell whether this amiable show, which runs for five episodes, will upend those preconceptions, though it's probably not in its interest to do so. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The men's stewardship of their children proves concerning enough to give you hope that future episodes will find Yemassee transformed into an entertainingly nuts mix of the town from Children of the Corn and the prison on OZ. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This American version incorporates the redneck humor so beloved in reality TV these days with battle-of-the-sexes cliches that should have been retired in the '70s. Read full review
