As someone who grew up in the Appalachians, I agree. I hate the California look in most of the outdoor scenes. It’s still a great TV show.
I come from the Appalachian foot hiils by way of the Ozarks to Texas and the pilot that was shot in Pennselvania has a much better back home feel to it for me. The show is just great, refuse to buy comercials on cable so I wait for the DVDs, season 4 should be hitting Target soon.
