Product Description
Description
Howling winds fierce enough to knock people off their feet, tossing waves, frigid temperatures. Swinging 700-pound crab pots for hours. Guaranteed injuries. That's the life of an Alaskan crab fisherman. He can earn enough money in a few months for a family to live on for a year or more. But it's also one of the deadliest, most backbreaking jobs there is. For these men, many second- and third-generation fishermen, working to the brink of exhaustion is more than just a job - it's a matter of pride. Crews continue to forge into the frigid Bering Sea to compete against not only Mother Nature, but also against each other as they struggle in an increasingly regulated and cut-throat world to maintain a family tradition that has lasted for generations.

Deadliest Catch: second season,
By
This review is from: Deadliest Catch: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
This show is as true to life as you can get. They show you just how dangerous the job is and how high the stress gets. It also shows just how easy it is to break someone. It takes a special person to go back over and over again. I thank the guys for allowing us a glimpse into this world and pulling no punches. I`m hooked!

Compulsive Viewing,
By P. Tibbles - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deadliest Catch: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
Deadliest Catch is one of those shows that rapidly becomes compulsive viewing. The way the show is done is anything but repetitive, even though the goal is always the same - crab. In this season, we get to watch the interplay between the crews under extremely icy conditions; and thankfully it is nothing like the so called "reality TV". This is true to life stuff, nobody is trying to be a hero and some don't even quite make it. The harsh realities of this deadliest job keep you on the edge of your seat for hours on end, and you'll find yourself laughing at moments such as the FV Time Bandit effectively going surfing. What you are really observing is a fascinating insight into these guys' lives, and just what they do to make a living. Alot of people will warm to the personalities of people like Sig Hansen and his brother Edgar; for some inexplicable reason everyone loves the FV Northwestern. Mike Rowe does the narration for this series as usual (also spawning millions who all say in their deepest voice "The vast Bering Sea"), and as usual the narration explains very well what is happening. Good choice of background music which adds to the tension of what is happening. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable. I watched 5 minutes of this show on TV and changed the channel, the next week I watched it and was completely hooked. Can't wait for season 3 to be released now.

As good as the first season,

This review is from: Deadliest Catch: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
Different though. There's less talk by Mike Rowe, but his voice is just perfect for this kind of thing. The end of the season episode, with the meeting with family members, is just the perfect end to a glorious show. I can feel completely identified with the human species watching it: priceless.It gives less importance to the competitive side this time. There are no provisional "scores" but that doesn't play as a minus. Maybe there are not so many flashbacks either. There are moments without commentary, where one finds himself "embedded" on the seas watching just like one more man in the crew, silently living it from the couch. Even if you don't care about the sea, watch it for its human worth. It's like an oasis away from politics and trivial city stuff. 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful

More Adventures in Lobster Fishing,
By Business Teacher "Mrs. H." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deadliest Catch: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
I was eagerly anticipating Season 2 of "Deadliest Catch" for more than one reason: firstly, I feel as if I really know all these guys and wanted to see what new adventures they were having and, secondly, I use the show as an example of "alternative careers" for my students where I teach business courses at an inner-city high school in Rhode Island. It is a true eye-opener for them as well as being entertaining! (Ironically, last spring, after showing a few of Season 1's episodes, one of my students lost her dad who was swept overboard while lobster fishing off the RI coast - his body was never found. It certainly reinforced how true "Deadliest Catch" really is.)I highly recommend the DVD for those who want to expand their knowledge and experiences while being entertained. I plan on buying "Ice Truckers" next, having heard it is just as fascinating. |
