I love Heartland and so does my wife. I find the acting is great that the scripts are genius and that we have good human relationships in this show. I find this show teaches good values and family tightness. I love the great outdoor and horses. A cousin of my father used to have a horse and every time I used to call him by his name he would come to me and put his head on my shoulder. He would eve kneel for me to get on him (I am only 5 feet 2 inches). For anyone who challenges the values or choice of subject of language of this show I would telle you to reconsider.

I'm in the US and I first watched Heartland (binge-watched) either on Netflix or Hulu plus and ever since got hooked. Later on, I would look for the newest episodes online wherever I could manage to find and I'm up to date and am looking forward to new shows in the Fall, 2018. We crave for shows like this here. I watch daily reruns of the older series on a channel called Light TV (California) and while watching them again, I've noticed one thing about most of the females on the show. They tend to be difficult, mean, jealous, and bossy. Ty Borden is the sweetest guy and I like Scott also, but I'm hard-pressed to say anything good about the females. Amy for example, has treated Ty harshly in number of times. First time when he left without saying goodbye and Jack rescued him from a possible death. She didn't even want to know what happened. At that time, I gave her a break thinking of her age and all and that she lost her mother, but still. Then she toyed with Ty and Caleb both even though Ty was the one she loved. She always tries to control him. I think later on after they got married, she became a little more mature. However, she can snap at anyone at any moment for any reason whether it be at Ty, Jack, Tim, her school friend or Lou. If Amy loves anything dearly, it's the horse(s), not people. She has her happy moments that are short-lived. Most of the times, she comes across as a manic depressive.Lou is another story, so competitive, mean and jealous and controlling. I didn't think Peter was such a bad guy, but before the divorce, she made a point of picking fight with him anytime he came home and he couldn't take it anymore. He was an ambitious man but in order to put him in a bottle, she asked him to give up his company and settle for a job under an unscrupulous man and be happy about it too? I still don't understand why she fell for him so much so quickly knowing that his lifestyle didn't guarantee staying fixed at one place? Behind every successful man, there is a fine woman. She wasn't willing to meet him halfway as she wouldn't leave Heartland. She tried to control Mitch also. To me, she is one of the women who is not really looking for 'someone to love' but a man to be there for her 24/7 and do this or that.Then there are Val, Malory, Soraiya, Ashley, Gerogie, Olivia, Kit (Ty's ex)=all mean one way or another. Lisa is more or less okay in the sense that she didn't try to snatch Jack away from his family and tried her best to be useful and nice to the family whenever she was around, yet Amy and Lou never accepted her whole-heartedly and even tried to deny the happiness that their grandfather deserved by first complaining about the engagement and then the secret marriage afterward as Jack was simply afraid of his mean granddaughters whom he raised and loved so dearly. She is also competitive, but I guess, I kinda like Lisa among all the females. At least she is straight forward and doesn't play mind games.And even though I can't stand most of these females, I am addicted to the show. I love most of the male characters and the horses and the breathtaking location in Canada, and most importantly, the writing and the character building. All in all, the show is put together brilliantly.

My daughter LOVES this show!! I love it too and my husband will watch it, my mom and brother - we have all gotten into binge watching it at times!! The situations are great- sometimes funny, sometimes sad - always heart warming. It is wholesome - I never worry about what my daughter might see or hear. I highly recommend this family fun show!
