Alaska's Grizzly Gauntlet

I think the existing reviews here undersell this show. Les Stroud is a stronger guide on bears than I've seen in other nature shows - he clearly seems to understand them well, and teaches both the bear's psychology/behavior and how to best interact with them. I particularly appreciated Kodiak Kings and Salmon Slaughterhouse, and I felt like I had a seasoned guide to show me around.

The show is uneven, and the caribou episode is the weakest. He didn't have as much to say about them, and seemed more like disturbing them by landing nearby in a copter repeatedly. The polar bear episode was middling.

Still, on the whole I would watch another show by him. I think some people were put off because he seems dramatic, but he isn't wrong that he's in their territory and needs to play by their rules, and that's what he's communicating.
