This is a great Documentary for anyone wishing to see how King Crab is caught without taking the risk of leaving your living room!

It follows several boats simultaniously as they head into the bearing sea in serach of their catch.

It's not called 'The Deadliest Catch' for nothing,in 1 episode 1 boat and crew are lost and on another vessel a man is lost overboard.

The only problem i have with this version of the Series is the American voice-over who really 'hams-up' every situation.Iv'e seen the Uk version on discovery narrated by a scot who is less excited,which i prefer.Also some clips appear to be repeated several times for effect.

However this doesn't spoil a great show which shouldn't be missed by all!

I love this program and im sure drive my wife up the wall watching it.

the deadliest catch is the hunt in alaska for red king crab and later in the year opilio crab.

these crabs fetch huge sums of money on the seafood markets but live in one of the most hazardous areas of sea in the world.

The dangers faced by the fishermen for there bounty is machinery rogue waves and deadly frigid seas.

the series concentrates on 5 boats of the fleet and the crews on board

it can be amusing,sad,heartbreaking all in one episode and these guys do a job that i could never hope to do.

Its a fantastic series and a big insight into fishing on the bearing sea.
