I don't watch TV, but I'm guessing its an over exaggerated and sensationalised bio pick where they pick up the local **** wits and market them as the status quo. Just a guess.
There is a lot of poverty and there are a lot of backwards inbred areas that would shock you. The valleys were built on industry that is gone. I guess you would understand from being up north. Farmers and steel workers etc, aren't meant to be metro sexual cold caller. Place defiantly has an identity crisis. But the national parks are stunning- filled with geological and human history. Mountains, waterfalls, etc...

The people may not be the most cosmopolitan or liberal or socially progressive, but fantastic when moved by moral outrage.
All the attractive women have left for bright lights. The only ones left who make effort look laminated and wear clown make up. I swear they were put on this planet to confuse my penis.
I'll check out the TV show and report back.
Actually my cousin looks attractive.
