Life Below Zero

I am addicted to this show but I have to take breaks. Not because of the cast, but the close ups between scenes coupled with the music almost seems like the director and editors are trying to portray these incredible, brave and admirable people as demented cooks. Why all of the creepy sound effects and music???? It almost ruins it for me. I love the Hailstones. Every cast member is individually awesome but something about the native point of view and them being a family with children is so intriguing to watch.

I am not a hunter and live in suburbia like most of us. This show allows me a glimpse into the lives of people that have chosen a different life and I enjoy this a lot. I am disappointed by some of the other reviews that (mostly) incorrectly portray information as factual this more opinion based. The use of profanity, I think, is understandable when failure of equipment or to complete a task has potentially catastrophic side-effects. It's very different for us if the vacuum cleaner stops working. Much more of an inconvenience - no real harm done.

If you enjoy looking at wonderful arctic/sub-arctic scenery, are open to the choices and transitions of others and can put up with the repetitive editing style, then this is a show you should thoroughly enjoy.

I really look forward every week for this show, among my other dramas and comedies and such. But Life Below Zero, is one of my top 5 of the week. I compare it to two other shows which both happen to end with "Men", and this is BY FAR my favorite. out of 3. I am always rewinding and sometimes it takes me 2 hours to watch an episode. Please keep this show on. Thank you. 10 out of 10!!! This is one those shows that can take you away from what is going on in your life as of now. So some one could label it a fantasy-reality documentary-drama. When I sit back and dream of getting away from it all, this all, I see myself going and living a life like the Bassich couple, a lot of work but that is what keeps them, & everyone, warm. Remember it's life below zero.

I always fast forward past the always-arrogant Sue as she climbs on the roof and says she's food for the grizzlies. What a bunch of made up drama. The others are very enjoyable....especially Agnes and her husband and kids.

Bassich is a horrible person, mean, ugly and rude to the women. No one should be allowed to profit from being so rude. No excuse for it!
