Highway Thru Hell

I really enjoyed the first episode of this series. Surprise of surprises, so far this show isn't over produced like so many reality shows. A bit of scripting and a scene where supposedly a tow truck driver goes up the wrong way of the highway without authority, but overall very interesting and good filming and show.

It's also nice to finally see a professional tow company with good equipment and professional drivers that know what they are doing, and handle themselves and the equipment like you would expect from a tow operator. I'm really impressed with the beautiful trucks, especially the three axle tow unit. A very rough highway and a long winter must make for some interesting work.

I hope that the producers don't feel the need to get too deep into personal squabbles between employees and other tow companies as the future episodes play out. This could be a very interesting show and popular for quite a long time. You don't need to play out false drama with this show, there is enough at play with the weather, equipment, accidents, etc.

Looking forward to future episodes and glad to read they are going to be coming back for another season.

So far no staged characters script. Just actual emergency situations and the folks that perform them. Makes sense it's a Canadian show.

We are honest and real! 😀🇨🇦

Shows honest hardworking people doing work in conditions no one else would work in. Like that they show interactions good and bad between the guys who tow.Jamie is always willing to teach guys. Give us more shows. Love that they now how 2 locations. They understand safety first but get those roads clear.

I love this show. I watch it quite a bit. It is mind-boggling to see these guys work with such heavy equipment and in such bad conditions. They have to have a lot of courage, be extremely tough and have the smarts to do that job. I am glad this kind of stuff is on TV. It gives us a bird's eye view of a dangerous and scary situations these guys run into all the time that I would never know about or think of. It is great to get an education on how this stuff works. I hope the show continues.

I have to say that I don't like many of the Discovery Channel shows, because they are so much staged and you can see and feel it. This show however feels somehow real and the main characters are likable guys, doing their exhausting work in the bad conditions of Canadian mountains. If you like cars and trucks this is a show for you, in my country we don't have such though conditions so we don't have such high-tech towing companies as Jamie Davis has. I watched every episode with great interest, you can see amazing performance by the towing crew. Jamie himself is a great character and great boss too, who tries to solve problems with his employees in a good and fair way, you have to admire him.

I love the last episodes of every season, where they meet at a table, drinking beer and summarize the whole season. It gives the show another perspective and deepness.

Overall a great show about huge trucks in the ditches of the CCHL Highway, combined with great team of people and interesting problems to solve.

Thanks Discovery :)
