Lest you start up with the “Is Dark Woods Justice real?” questions again, though, keep in mind that the show is more like old school Alaskan shows, before oversaturation made the 49th state just as boring as the first.Ī recent write-up in the Seattle Times underscores the show’s quiet differences.

To that extent, then, Dark Woods Justice is a bit like an Alaska-based reality TV show, in that viewers will be treated to a neverending series of stunning visuals (like the ones above, for example), and to a somewhat sparsely populated area where people act a little bit differently than what you might expect. Despite the harsh terrain, searching for answers is a battle that local law enforcement never stop fighting.
In addition to protecting the vast wilderness across the peninsula, deputies like Detective Jeff Rhoades from Mason County are presented with the challenge of finding missing persons in the vast expanse of the forest. But Jefferson County Deputy Adam Newman and his fellow deputies are determined to put a stop to the forest destruction and the criminal activity fueling it. The dwindling supply has triggered a black market, sending a wave of poachers deep into the last great forest of America. Trees like the Western Big Leaf Maple bring in millions as their wood is used to create the highest end guitars and other musical instruments. The Olympic Peninsula grows trees so valuable and coveted that poachers are risking prison time and their lives to steal them.
However, Sheriff’s deputies throughout the region have sworn to protect their communities and the forest at all costs.
(Who’d have thought that a maple tree could be worth more than some precious metals?įirst off, though, here’s the official breakdown of the show, courtesy of Discovery:ĭeep in the heart of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula lies one of the country’s last great forests – one so massive and diverse that it has been called America’s “Last Untamed Wilderness.” With land stretching over 2,000 square miles and containing some of the rarest and most ancient trees on earth, this vast forest hides dark secrets, including an illicit underground black market of natural resource theft. As it turns out, the “Dark Woods” of Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula have been used for all manner of crimes–including concealing dead bodies, and, believe it or not, poaching rare and beautiful trees, the black market value of which will stun you. Is Dark Woods Justice real? It’s the question skeptical reality TV fans find themselves asking about Discovery’s newest entry in the true crime / police genre, and it’s nice to be able to say that the show definitely delivers an intriguing new take on a familiar premise.
