Ice Road Truckers Deadliest Roads Season 1

This really shows you what it's like to drive in India--there are no rules, other than you should generally drive on the left side of the road. The drivers (Lisa, Rick, Dave, Alex) are diverse enough that their way of handling the insanity makes it interesting...though the insanity itself is interesting. The "what-if" special effects are meant to add excitement and danger, but really, there was enough excitement and danger that it wasn't needed. One of the drivers doesn't make it past the first day, and only one driver makes it to the end. Along the way there are rockslides, avalanches, road closures, traffic jams, accidents, fights, breakdowns (mechanical and emotional), and always sketchy roads--usually with a massive drop off on one side. I thoroughly enjoyed the Deadliest Roads Season 1 and have a new appreciation for these drivers, as well as a better understanding of what it's like to drive in India.The one thing that is slightly annoying is that because it was taken straight from TV, minus the commercials, there is the recap that occurs after a commercial (for viewers who just tuned in while watching TV), yet because there was no commercial you get an unnecessary recap of what you just saw. Yet, I still give it 5 starts because for the price I can tolerate it. On the plus side, each segment of each episode is in a submenu, so you can go directly to a segment and you will know what happened beforehand due to the recap.Just to recap, Ice Road Truckers Deadliest Roads Season i is interesting, exciting, and well worth watching.

This is the IRT video to have. Fantastic. Wonderful. Got to have it. Love it.

This show in my opinion is better than it's previous versions of a the same name just different location! It shows how far some of the characters will go to prove how brave they want to be and just how dangerous it is in a very remote location far removed from civilization and the cost of human life to do the kind of work these people do. I'd be kidding myself if I thought that anybody could do this and not hate themselves later and just because you driven a truck in these locations doesn't mean your bullet proof in a matter of speaking!

i watched and liked the regular irt series,but deadliest roads was just a different seat of the pants experience,really enjoyed the drama,thriller,comedy(at times)and mystery.maybe the just edited out the love story?who knows?

Very much enjoyed watching the Ice Road Truckers driving these narrow mountain roads. They dodged vehicles all along the one lane roads with the two way traffic in the mountains, with steep drop-offs at the edge of their wheels! It's amazing to see how the people in that country disregard safety while driving thru mobs of people & vehicles. Very interesting and entertaining. Beautiful scenery, too.

After watching seasons 1-4 of Ice Road Truckers in either northern Canada or the last seasons in Alaska, this was a letdown to be honest. I really didn't know what I was getting, I just knew I enjoyed IRT, except for the 2nd half of Season 2 when Alex Debogorski had health issues that ended this run that season. Being a huge fan of Alex, my favorite actor/real life trucker on the ice roads, I was really disappointed when halfway through the first episode he bowed out because of the crazy Delhi roads and two car crashes that weren't even his fault. Can't say I blame him, Rick and Lisa had their close calls too, and I watched it through because Rick is a cut-up funny actor/trucker. He and Alex definitely make the show, Hugh is too foul-mouthed, and the others kind of come and go throughout the seasons. But, those ridiculous looking trucks they drove in India were over the top weird, I like to see them behind the wheel of a big 18-wheeler, not a engine mounted on sticks. Guess I should have done my homework a bit more before purchasing this one, but I thought hey its IRT, can't go wrong, well you can...

This is a wild ride of a show , I like the drivers and what they go through delivering supplies in India on the high mountain passes. It also shows you how rude people can be on the roads and explains why many truck drivers get ulcers. After watching this you will know why but it also shows how life is like in India and what overpopulation looks like.

Unreal and totally wild!! I give so much credit to the drivers who made it! I don't blame Alex Debogorski one bit for going home. He followed his instincts, and with such a large family, it made sense. I'm a really big fan of IRT and now IRT Deadliest Roads! It's a trip, and worth watching!

I quite enjoyed this series. Hard to believe such roads exist and are used to such an extent. Have a new respect for Rich Yemm, was impressed with his kindness to the local children. I think Lisa should have left her dog at home and should have kept her spotter. There was no need to take such chances and involve the other drivers. I couldn't believe that Alex would even consider going there in the first place. His experience was driving in isolation. He did the right thing to go home. The guy from the south was pretty cool. Am giving the video as a gift and will borrow it back to watch again.

Not a bad video, too much of the same thing for me, but my husband is happy with it, that's what matters, as it was his choice.
