Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
laurenthoutent My marks are for the fantastic views of India, the Himalayas and South America. They are NOT for the show. The show spoils the viewing. Why oh why do they have to make it so dramatic when it's so obvious that it's staged?The silly voice over about the truckers being miles from anywhere with no one around. We know jolly well there is a whole team with land and air vehicles, camera crews etc escorting them.Fake arguments, fake tempers, amateurish editing. Best example of bad editing is when Tino and Tim stick TNT on their container. The lorry starts and stalls,TNT is gone; 1/2 mile later TNT is back on. Why stage a lorry stalling?The most awful bit of obvious staging is Lisa taking the fuel drums to the rescue team. The truckers going on and on most unconvincingly about "these people need their fuel" and Lisa repeating it ever more unconvincingly ... Please guys, take acting lessons! Then we have a short footage of Lisa driving, footage of drums in a lorry, footage of arriving in a field. Hmm...As I stated, the scenery is wonderful but the bit about trucking is so obviously staged that it's superfluous. I won't mention the daft annoying CGI of trucks exploding, falling down cliffs etc.
tonopah6 I liked the ice road truckers season three, and some of season four - the India trucking was okay, too (being Deadliest Roads Season One): so I had high expectations for better entertainment with the deadliest roads series for season two, filmed in South America.But I was wrong.I was wrong not really because of the location, and the different towns and cities, nor the different culture: I was wrong because of the crew that the production used as drivers - in particular: the two bozo idiot rookies! Those two guys were imbeciles! And they had no right to be criticizing anybody on how a road is to be driven: as with the episode when they scolded a veteran driver on how he should drive after they themselves only drove the road once.And to top it off: Lisa Kelly: the semi-cutie female from Alaska, turned out to be a real conceded bitch. Lisa's head swelled even more than the rookies after she managed to get through the route. At first she was soooo scarred - then she became gods' greatest gift to trucking after a successful drive.Okay ... Bolivia and Peru were interesting; but give me the crew from Alaska to watch - or some guys worth liking: without anybody quitting after the second episode like Rick and Dave. But Hugh Rawlins was great.Was this program real, or did they become actors, using a script from writers: because it sure seemed like an insane asylum to have to put up with the attitudes of those truckers? I think that some of what goes on is scripted; including drivers quitting or getting fired in order to hype up somebody or a situation. I guess that had to be done, because of what they hauled; stupid things, like: ceramics, plaster dinosaurs, cases of beer (why can't a remote city make their own beer?), real live Llamas (why can't remote communities breed their own livestock?); and then they hauled some normal things, like: cement and metal pipes. BUT ... there are large helicopters that can carry a tank, so why can't it carry those pitiful loads that the trucks had? It would be a lot faster and safer.Well ... what the hell: the program was still better to watch then 90% of everything else on the tube. Maybe Lisa will try mooning on one of the episodes?
strider1960 This may contain a spoiler to an episode. My wife and I started seeing how unprofessional Hugh is in this last season of Ice Road Truckers when he and Rick Yemm teamed up driving their separate trucks in Canada. During the second to last episode in IRT Deadliest Roads when Hugh got into a race on the road with Team T&T (Tim & Tino, the new drivers) that caused damage to each trucks cargo just goes to prove that these three drivers have no right to call themselves, or be called, professional drivers. Professional truck drivers don't drive like children, cause damage to their cargo, and then just shrug their shoulders. I hope future employers of these three drivers see this show and wisely choose not to hire them as truck drivers.
lancedulak The cast from Ice Road truckers minus a few of the more annoying drive the worlds most dangerous roads. This series actually makes me miss trucking. The dangerous parts were actually the most fun parts. Unlike Ice road truckers in which the drivers in reality worked short (comparative to the average hard driving trucker) hours in situations that were made to look much more dangerous than they are. In this series you get the real thing with some very professional drivers. Note in the original show only Lisa and 2 other drivers were what any serious trucker would consider professional, and Hugh the least.The drivers take on roads that crumble as they drive. In trucks that wouldn't be allowed on the roads in the US or Western Europe. If you liked ice road truckers but want to see the real thing with actual professional drivers this is it.
