I am a big fan of survival stories, and this series does them incredibly well. The stories themselves are incredible, and the re-enactments aren't distracting or terrible. Each story is a great reminder to respect the wild and you always need to be aware of your surroundings and take necessary precautions for wildlife when in their habitats. Some of the stories are from the same animals, but that's to be expected and they are still unique. The first episode is pretty entertaining but the second episode with the polar bear story really pulls you in and you are hooked by the end of it. This is a really great show.
