IRT: DEADLIEST ROADS sends today s toughest drivers to navigate the world s most dangerous roads as they haul their way through India s Himalayan highways, some of the most historic and lethal on the planet. From the crowded streets of Delhi, to treacherously steep, narrow and congested roads blasted into the mountainside, seasoned drivers Rick Yemm, Lisa Kelly and Alex Debogorski embark on an exhilarating, exhausting and terrifying adventure, where the difference between life and death is just a few inches...or one very blind corner.
The challenges and perils are never-ending on these ancient trade routes; someone dies on them every 4.5 minutes. If Rick, Lisa and Alex aren t careful, they might wind up as casualty statistics themselves. Tight, winding roads, perilous drops, rock ceilings, weakened mountains, potholes and total roadway failure combine with the ever-present danger of avalanches, communication breakdowns, wild weather and the harder-than-it-sounds task of driving on the other side of the road to challenge, fray the nerves and risk the lives of these courageous drivers. Will they be able to adapt and overcome these dire obstacles when so out of their own elements?
Experience all 10 episodes of this pulse pounding series on 3 DVDs.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! (FOR RELEASING THIS 5 STAR ENTERTAINMENT MASTERPIECE.)
Whichever genius decided to expand the concept of Ice Road Truckers to this format is EXACTLY THAT: A GENIUS! THIS SIMPLY BLOWS THE ORIGINAL SERIES AWAY!!!
Frankly, the IRT original series was beginning to bog down badly with the same tiresome theme: "Will Lisa ever fit in?" Watching these three drivers, including Lisa, negotiate possibly the highest, tightest and generally the worst excuses for roads on the planet will have you squirming in your chair and sucking in audible tight breaths as you frequently peer 1000 feet straight down with no safety rails.
This is daredevil fare at it's very finest. It's called the "Road of Skeletons" because a driver DIES while driving on it every 4 1/2 MINUTES!
SIGN UP. THIS WILL QUICKLY BECOME A FAVORITE YOU'LL SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND ONE THAT STANDS UP TO REPEATED "LUMP IN YOUR STOMACH/LUMP IN YOUR THROAT" VIEWING!

This really shows you what it's like to drive in India--there are no rules, other than you should generally drive on the left side of the road. The drivers (Lisa, Rick, Dave, Alex) are diverse enough that their way of handling the insanity makes it interesting...though the insanity itself is interesting. The "what-if" special effects are meant to add excitement and danger, but really, there was enough excitement and danger that it wasn't needed. One of the drivers doesn't make it past the first day, and only one driver makes it to the end. Along the way there are rockslides, avalanches, road closures, traffic jams, accidents, fights, breakdowns (mechanical and emotional), and always sketchy roads--usually with a massive drop off on one side. I thoroughly enjoyed the Deadliest Roads Season 1 and have a new appreciation for these drivers, as well as a better understanding of what it's like to drive in India.
The one thing that is slightly annoying is that because it was taken straight from TV, minus the commercials, there is the recap that occurs after a commercial (for viewers who just tuned in while watching TV), yet because there was no commercial you get an unnecessary recap of what you just saw. Yet, I still give it 5 starts because for the price I can tolerate it. On the plus side, each segment of each episode is in a submenu, so you can go directly to a segment and you will know what happened beforehand due to the recap.
Just to recap, Ice Road Truckers Deadliest Roads Season i is interesting, exciting, and well worth watching.

We love Ice road Truckers. the first time I watched it, I was hooked. It is a very exciting show to watch , you get to know the truckers and look forward to seeing them. We now have seasons one through five on DVDS. We keep hoping season six will come out on DVD also so we can have the complete up to date collection.

Got better in later seasons
I didn't watch early seasons on TV, so I had never seen the first season. They definitely got better as the years went on. I didn't realize that Rick was in the early shows.

Amazing. Crazy, but amazing.
Ice Road Truckers was okay, but this first season of IRT Deadliest Roads is downright crazy good. The "roads" are ridiculous.

My teenage boys like it because of the thrill of the icy roads.
We discovered this show through my teenage boy. I think it is probably geared towards that age group and gender.
