Excellent series. Colossal waves crash over lunging decks. Freezing temperatures taunt the weary. 700-pound crab pots swing like battering rams and can crush a man like a tomato. General George C. Patton once said to work beyond exhaustion is to gain strength. These guys battle exhaustion in conditions where one misstep can result in critical injury or death. If you crave adventure, you might also try The Golden Catch, a novel where the action unfolds in the stormy Aleutian Islands.

If you joined the fans of Deadliest Catch in one of the later seasons, as I did, you'll appreciate seeing this first season. It's good to see not only some of the crew and boats from later seasons, but to meet some of those who do not appear subsequently. It's well worth purchasing.

This show was a breath of fresh air when it first came out because it offered a less circus oriented version of reality television. What you get in this series is a glimpse into the reality facing Alaskan crab fisherman. It is a dangerous occupation, one that leaves few of its participants unscathed. You see the exhaustion associated with the toil involved in the industry. You see how people just work to get by, and the rewards associated with this work. In the process, you will educated and entertained. Get it and enjoy.

I was very satisfied with the quality and condition of this product. I would buy from this company again. The price was right for the product delivered.

CEO David Zaslav reaps a $33.9 million in a single day, his company however attempts to bankrupt hardworking fishermen.

I regret having ever bought any of the Deadliest Catch, I guess the working class aren't allowed to have anything nice anymore. I hope Zaslav chokes on seafood, and I'll never buy or watch anything from the Discovery channel for the rest of my life.
