DVD Reviews of Tougher In Alaska: The Complete Season 1

DVD Review: A reality series that's actually 'real'
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the most authentic portrayal of Alaska I've seen. I lived in that state many years myself and have been in some of the places the host features. He jumps right into every situation no matter how new to him or physically uncomfortable with a hearty but respectful attitude. He and the show try to use the correct pronunciation for Alaskan place names. It's quite wonderfully done, and I highly recommend renting or purchasing this dvd.

Description of Tougher In Alaska: The Complete Season 1

TOUGHER IN ALASKA:COMPLETE SEASON 1 - DVD Movie
Yet another reality show documenting extreme men pulling off extreme feats, Tougher In Alaska simulates its predecessors, Ice Road Truckers, Deadliest Catch, and Ax Men, but its recipe for combining trucking, fishing, and chopping makes for better variety and viewing. Season One includes four discs with four episodes each in an extreme metal DVD box, in case grizzlies try to attack it. The first show, "Gold Mining," which shows three mining teams squeezing gold out of an already tapped landscape, establishes a narrative pattern in which a triad of situations are braided together to create an overall picture of indestructible and crafty men fighting the elements. Episode two, "Salmon Fishing," focuses less on blasting pristine landscape and more on men who make a living plundering the sea for coveted Sockeye. "Extreme Winter" shows winter life in Fairbanks: cars swerving off icy roads into ditches, fires erupting from chimneys clogged with soot from wood-burning stoves, and in its finest moments, stars a gun-obsessed freak hell bent on hunting the wolves who ate his dog. Tougher In Alaska, in other words, was not made with the idealistic environmentalist in mind. The narrator, Geo Beach, places melodramatic emphasis on everything to up the extremity, which is at times plain ridiculous and at times poignant. In "Extreme Isolation," he does indeed educate about the extreme transportation needed to maneuver through southern Alaska?s panhandle, as he pitches an outdoor tent amongst others on a frosty ferry ride. With Beach?s mentions of his previous experience as a fisherman and more, it is clear that he is the real deal, not some extreme poser. This, at least, justifies his bravado. It takes a special narrator to run with the big dogs, and to be able to translate that into palatable entertainment. --Trinie Dalton
