3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as season 1 or 2, December 17, 2010
This review is from: Everest: Beyond the Limit Season 3 (Amazon Instant Video)
Season 3 of Everest: Beyond the Limit isn't near as good as Season 1 or 2. I watched Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix and was hungry for more. Seasons 1 and 2 follow Russell Brice's Himex Everest guide company as they get amateur climbers to the summit of Everest. For season 3, things change. Season 3, episodes 1-3 follow a different competing company, only episodes 4-5 are footage of Brice's team.

The main difference is that seasons 1 and 2 built the suspense as the season went along. The first episode introduced you to the team, the second to "warm up" then up to the summit (or failed attempts) and the aftermath of getting back down.

Season 3 is more like 5 disjointed mini-documentaries. Other than all taking place in one climbing season and finding stories from two climbing teams, the episodes have no other connection and no real flow from one to the next. There also are no stand out characters, like "Biker Tim" or Mogens from the first and second seasons. Season 3 also takes the climbers along the south route, instead of the north, and there never seems to be as good of a clear picture as to the exact route. In seasons 1 and 2, by the end, you felt like you had traveled the entire North route and knew it. In season 3, the climbers will often "jump" from one camp to the next with no footage of what was in between.

Overall, if you liked seasons 1 and 2, than 3 is worth a watch. Try the first episode and decide if you want to complete it. There aren't any cliffhangers in ep. 1, so if you don't like it, you won't feel like you are missing anything in the rest of the episodes. If you are new to the Everest: Beyond the limit series, start with Season 1 and go from there.
