I thought this was a very good show and the DVD was superior to the first season because of all the extras. The reason that I say it was "almost as good as the first season" in the title is because once you have experience it the first time then you aren't as caught off guard by the danger and the astonishing facts about climbing Everest. Another reason I didn't find it as good was and is on the cover of the DVD box. The fact that this lady reporter was involved when she had no experience (or little or none) and that so much time was spent on her ineptitude was really irritating. And again, why she is on the cover of the box is really aggrivating since she was such a small part of the show, or should have been and because she was pretty much shown to be a fraud who got on the show just simply for the story and to be on the show. Still a great series and still full of tension and thrilling moments and great photography.

Don't hesitate on this one! Grab it! The second season PLUS what in my opinion is an equally important bonus area of discussion [all visual material] including various of the series participants and extra input from those who need no introduction to their high altitude climbing credentials and mountaineering achievements. So too, in the bonus material, the hard questions [read: TV documentary criticisms] of the documentary on Everest are not avoided nor in any way sugar-coated. You're looking at approximately 7 hours of visual material here between the TV episodes and the added bonus discussion material consisting of 4 extended episodes entitled, "Everest: After the Climb" . You absolutely can't beat it for under $15.00! This was the price [$14.97] when I did the review.
I'll lay my cards on the table and as I always do especially if commenting on films [documentary or fiction!] or books that deal with the climbing and/or mountaineering community. I'm tired of seeing Russell ... Read More
