After watching several episodes I thought that this show was over-hyped -- where every moment is made out to be a life-or-death situation. After seeing the same graphic of a tractor & trailer falling through the ice -- shown 3 or 4 times per episode -- it gets to be a bit hard to believe. And the narrator, Thom Beers, is obviously trying to sell us on a danger that is probably a lot less significant than the TV producers want us to believe.
Then, I found out that a coworker had spent almost 20 years driving on the ice road! After hearing her descriptions of what it was really like -- well, I won't be watching this over-hyped piece of crap any more!
