i think this series is one of the most exciting programs to watch. each episode can bring on new challenges and the driver always has to be aware of the dangers they face. It makes you see the reality that goes into deliveries in this part of our country. What is also good is the opposite side to see is the Highway Thru Hell series because it shows the other side of the disasters that may happen and how unforeseen obstacles in the winter could easily become a hazard if not prepared or not take any chances. These two together makes for some exciting shows that would never get boring since each time when you think it could not get worse it happens. Great video.

I loved watching this series when it was broadcast in the UK on C5. The downside of those broadcasts were the constant ad breaks with the consequent repetitiveness with comments like 'coming up later in the programme....' and 'on the next installment.....'. The picture quality also seemed to have something missing. This Blu-ray solves all of this as the recording avoids all of the repetitiveness and the picture quality is fantastic. There are still some lower resolution pictures taken, I think, from 'in truck' cameras and where the light is poor due to weather and/or time of day. When light is good though, the result is sharp and clear. Some of the shots are simply stunning. Parts of the route driven such as the RollerCoaster look even more frightening than ever. Others have commented that they feel disappointed that the beeps covering bad language are still on the recording. I am happy about this as my children can safely watch the disc version and lets face it, anyone old and wise enough can fill in the beeps for themselves! If there is a slight downside, then on my 'region free' version bought from the USA it is the voiceover having an American accent. He gets quite excited sometimes but you get used to it after a while and I suppose it reinforces the fact that this is all filmed several thousand miles from us in the UK. I understand that the disc set is about to be released properly in the UK and so some of my comments may or may not apply to that version. This series seems to have gathered quite a following around the UK if friends and family are to be believed. This disc set should prove very popular as you can now get a 'fix' of extremely cold weather whenever you want!Read full review
Got this for my husband (he's a truckdriver.)Even if you're not a driver tho, this DVD/set is EXCELLENT! Action-packed, interesting interviews with little bio's on the drivers. Incredible scenery. Actually, this set even gives the viewer 'pointers' on driving; what to do, what not to do, that I think would benefit anyone. We'd love to get more & hope to get more from same seller if he has any, we have the Season 3. I'd first seen the show on t.v. & told my husband about it. He was very interested, having never seen it. Since then, everybody we know & have talked to about the show say they LOVE it, it's very popular, and one of everybody's favorites. I highly recommend both the seller (very nice) & the DVD's. The DVD's were better because there were no commercial's to interrupt. The only thing we didn't like was coming to the end! We want to get more of this show, LOVE IT.Read full review
