BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

dwightlewis-18956 These guys and girls shouldnt be driving. Maybe its the shiw that calls the shots but if they worked for me they would be done.. tire chains work.. not just one single on but all eight tires and a steer chain as well.. half therir problems happen without proper traction.. and trying to put them on after the fact is lazy. I have driven alot in the oil field with all kinds of loads in all kinds of places and this is the most lazy stupid dangerous people i have seen driving.. just cant belive how over dramatic and undafe..

NyxNax So maybe I was a little harsh in the summary, It does have some entertaining aspects. But after so many seasons the only thing really keeping it going is the drama and adding new characters. Which i'm not saying is a bad thing, the show is about the people driving these trucks through lovely weather and of course, ice crossings. If your looking for documentary type show just about ice road trucking though, this really isn't it. That could be made into a 2 hour documentary. Or just watch the 1st season and ya get the picture. If your into the people and the drama though, then keep on watching. There was a separate season where a few of the characters from the show like Lisa Kelly and Darrel Ward, went to South America driving truck on some of the worst roads in the world. I found that to be much more entertaining, and I believe far more dangerous as well. Driving a old piece of a crap truck on a 1 lane road with a mountain on one side and a vertical cliff on the other is somethin else entirely. What bothers me is EVERY single time a truck goes across the ice they play "life threatening" ice cracking/popping sounds and then as the truck nears the other side they play this climactic siren music as if to scare you into not knowing if the truck is going to fall through or make it across. It becomes SOOO annoying!! In the dead of winter the chance of a truck falling through is very very slim. What they don't show is the tons of other trucks that are going across the ice. At the end of the season is when it becomes much more dangerous. If they were to save the climactic music and cracking sounds till the actual more dangerous times they're crossing the ice, it would make it so much more impactful! Not to mention the narrator over-hyping things as well. When it gets slick, the trucks drifting their trailers/cargo around corners is pretty cool i must say. So all-in-all if ya like the drama of the show and the characters, keep on watchin, otherwise just watch the documentary or the 1st season. I do really recommend the season that was in South America to anyone. The environment, the native people, the culture, the danger, the language barrier played such a huge roll. I wont spoil anything, but I can see why there was only 1 season of that.

gunnvald-kleveland I am from Norway and don't think the temperature is so extreme , if i calculate it right -32F is just at water freezing, and they show it as terrible at -42. Also i think the trucks are so different than we are using, many things looks like its been around since the early 80's. Who in his right mind uses steel-wire to load and unload the trailer on the rig. That's my opinion,you're technique and solutions are strange for me. And to use alcohol on air tanks was a system we used 20-30 years ago, now its just air drying system, so many different ways to the job. So I think its a good series but some of the characters are a little over the top for me,they are a little full of themselves :)

Flynn2 Channel 5's new television series, "Ice road truckers" was suitably intriguing at first sight. Further into the series we are introduced to more and more characters and we see their personalities unravel before our eyes.We learn about aspects of their job such as the huge machines they use to carry out their bidding, and what kind of a life they lead while trawling the Ice Road. All the truckers we see are working for the head honcho "Hugh Roland" a big, hairy, macho man nick named "the polar bear" by his employees.Soon enough, the true personality of the drivers is revealed; from the very likable southern Californian "T.J." to the rather arrogant Rick Yemm. That brings me to another point, the swearing. Unfortunately the drivers tend to swear every other sentence which leads to a series of very annoying beeps.The introduction for every episode has so far been repeated from the pilot episode, which has lots of cheesy introductions like Alex's line where he says "It's called the dash for the cash" which makes for some cringe worthy viewing. Apart from these small hang ups (and all the other stuff I have no doubt forgotten) Ice road truckers makes for a likable documentary and some easy Friday night viewing.
