Deadliest Catch: Season Six (2010) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Another riveting season of America's favorite crab fisherman. This season has it all-fights, dealing with loss, facing the best season yet for some, and worst for others. New boat the Kodiak comes back to the fold for crab season, captained by Bill Wichrowski, who we saw in Season 5 when the guys went on a fishing vacation. Captains Keith Colburn (Wizard) and Jonathan Hillstrand (Time Bandit) start the season with a physical fight, as Jonathan grows tired of Keith's bad-mouthing him, and trying to poach his crew. The two Jakes (Harris, Phil's son and Anderson, Sig's greenhorn from a year ago, switch boats for 3 weeks to experience life on another boat. In the fantastic episode, Bering Sea Swim Club, you get the perfect mix of all things crabbing... the dangerous thrill ride of the two Jakes switching back boats by going into the water, emotion as Sig's deck hand describes the day he lost his friend overboard just a few months ago, the antics of the Time Bandit crew, and of course, the ups and down of pulling in the haul. Captain Phil, in his last season, continues to highlight what made him famous- a good father, great fisherman, and a caring man. Big surprise ending regarding Jake, Phil's son in Episode 10 The Darkened Seas¿ when he reveals a dark secret. Episode 11 is the Episode where Captain Phil has his stroke, and filming continues while he is in the hospital. A season not to be missed. (If the DVD release does not have the 5 "After the Catch" specials, look around for them... all were taped after Phil's death and are a great tribute to him.)Warning: Highly emotional watching everyone's reaction to the news of Phil, watching these strong men cry at the news.

In the end, they will all come to the realization that the most violent storms come from within. This year, there's a fracture in the Bering Sea brotherhood. Old allies become mortal enemies when fishing turns personal. While some skippers rage against each other - another skipper fights a lone battle to stay alive. The Bering Sea has a way of turning young boys into hardened men. Before this season is through, terrible tragedy will alter two young lives forever. Last season, eight men lost their lives to the Bering Sea. This year, catastrophe strikes at the heart of one of our featured boats

Deadliest Catch - Season 3 (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fans of the show will definitely want to add this season to their collection. Don't worry if you haven't watched the show before; Mike Rowe's narration adds enough information about the crews, crab fishing, and their past experiences to keep a new viewer from getting lost.
It's all here; Blake's rookie season, Phil's frustrations with his ships AND his offspring-turned-crew, the breathtaking Man Overboard rescue by the Time Bandit....
"Deadliest Catch" is reality tv at its best. We're given working-class heroes as a "cast" instead of what a network thinks is hip and photogenic, and VERY REAL danger. The tragedies of the ships Big Valley and Ocean Challenger make the title more than "watch this kids" melodrama; good, ordinary people have lost their lives. (And, lest anyone think this is exploitive - far from it. The tragedies are shown by the filmmakers for what they are - heartbreaking grief and loss).
I never thought about the danger and backbreaking work it took to get that seafood dinner onto my plate. As you watch the show, be sure to say a prayer for the men and women who have made the sea their life and career.
