About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like intense true survival stories with a documentary feel, especially if Life Below Zero or River Monsters appeal to you; Not for you if repeated bad decisions and stressful close calls sound more irritating than gripping.
Pros: gripping real-life stories; tense survival stakes; surprisingly educational | Cons: uneven reenactments; some frustrating decisions; dated presentation
