This review is from: Deadliest Catch: Season 3 (DVD)
Fans of the show will definitely want to add this season to their collection. Don't worry if you haven't watched the show before; Mike Rowe's narration adds enough information about the crews, crab fishing, and their past experiences to keep a new viewer from getting lost.
It's all here; Blake's rookie season, Phil's frustrations with his ships AND his offspring-turned-crew, the breathtaking Man Overboard rescue by the Time Bandit....
"Deadliest Catch" is reality tv at its best. We're given working-class heroes as a "cast" instead of what a network thinks is hip and photogenic, and VERY REAL danger. The tragedies of the ships Big Valley and Ocean Challenger make the title more than "watch this kids" melodrama; good, ordinary people have lost their lives. (And, lest anyone think this is exploitive - far from it. The tragedies are shown by the filmmakers for what they are - heartbreaking grief and loss).
I never thought about the danger and backbreaking work it took to get that seafood dinner onto my plate. As you watch the show, be sure to say a prayer for the men and women who have made the sea their life and career.

Aside from the fact that several episodes were out of order (no idea why) we enjoyed this very much. It was great to be able to watch with no annoying advertisements interrupting the program.

Episodes out of order?, April 10 2008

I just received my DVD set today, and after watching the first two episodes, I''m pretty sure they are out of order. The episode titles are correct on the disk one menu, but selecting episode one plays episode two, and selecting episode two plays episode one. I just checked wikipedia's episode guide to verify. I've only watched the first two episodes, so if I find other problems I'll post again.
