I found season one to be a little over the top, but still entertaining. It's always a kick seeing local places like the Kananaskis Dam and Moose Mountain on film. The town of Little Big Bear is basically main street High River with the mountains of Waterton Lakes National Park superimposed in the background.
I think I watched the first episode of season two and found it pretty meh so didn't bother with the rest. Maybe I'll give it another try.
I did find the whole cycle of "mild mannered Englishman regularly consumes insane amounts of alcohol to transform into a cross between Mr. Hyde and Rambo" to be really stupid. And the wife's whole "one minute I hate you, next minute I'm encouraging you to do bad things, then I hate you again when you do them" schtick got on my nerves as well. Honestly I just didn't find any of the main characters to be particularly likeable.
