What a great interesting show! Beautiful scenery and a complete break from American culture! Mark & Olly are easy to like and you get to watch them take all the dangerous risks and jabs at how unskilled they are at hunting and such while you watch from the comfort of your tv set!

This review is from: Living with the Mek (DVD)

Another good show of "living with the...", but you have to be the trpe of person that likes to see different life styles and culture to be able to enjoy it.

I do wonder why it is this short, no it isnt that short, but when it is filmed over 40 days as I seem to remember, I think there could be a lot more shown which isnt and more shown on the interviews, but ow well very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely riveting!, March 3, 2009

We absolutely love this show, and the other tribes Mark and Olly visted before(Kombai Tribe) and after, the newest one currently on the travel channel: Mark & Olly: Machigenga Tribe.

Believe me, I watch the all the popular shows like Lost and Prison Break, and this is just as riveting. On top of that, you learn a lot. It's fascinating to see how these tribes survive and their way of life. Mark and Olly always try their hardest and its so funny to watch the women in the tribe make fun of them for not being good at things like building huts, hunting or finding grubs to eat. It might sound boring, but it is by far one of our favorite shows. Definitely worth a watch!
