Entertaining 4 out of 5 stars.

I got this for my husband for a Christmas gift. It is pretty entertaining. It is mostly just "fluff" T.V., but watching some of these guys whine and cry cracks me up. The ice road itself is pretty amazing. When it starts melting, I don't know how these guys keep driving on it to get in their last loads... Overall, I would recommend it.
Editorial Review:
For the past several decades, two months out of every year, truckers in the Canadian tundra carry vital equipment to remote outposts located hundreds of miles north. The mission is to transport thousands of loads before the road disappears.
Continuing this successful series, our truckers will venture to a new road - one that is actually located inside the Arctic Circle. The road is comprised of hills that resemble rollercoasters, journeys over ice, and even includes a 120-mile stretch over open ocean. Over the course of the season, the series will examine the building of the ice road (which includes an ice bridge), and will also follow road maintenance crews as they struggle to keep the road safe and operable in sub zero temperatures.
It is a race against the elements, against time, and against each other. The series will continue to examine this time honored profession that dates back almost a century, often through generations of families.

We'd only ever seen the first episode her in Australia, but I wanted to see them all. So I placed an overseas order, with Amazon. The full First Series arrive very quickly, considering the distance to the "Down Under" and in perfect condition, as well. The rest of this first series, was fantastic and I have watch some of them, over and over again!!! They are of a very similar scarey action, as was Deadliest Catch, of which I also bought the full series, from Amazon. The very LARGE numbers "beeps" in the Ice Road Truckers, does take away the true sense of the stories, so we just have to endure that, we guess!!!! We did have to purchase a later brand of DVD Player, to be able to play the Ice Road Truckers, because of being in a different Zone, but we had to watch them, somehow and this was a small price to pay. And now, we'll be able to play ALL DVDs, that we order from Amazon!!! So there you have it, folks!!!!!!
Poorly executed clone of Deadliest Catch 2 out of 5 stars.

I had high expectations for this series, but after watching it my primary reaction is one of disappointment. This would have been a terrific two-hour special. But the producers had a lot of time to fill, and fill they did...with repetitive, monotonous footage, weak story lines, artificial and manipulative "drama", and lots of time spent repeating the same material over...and over...and over.
I don't think I've ever seen a series that was so obviously stretched to fill the available time. The latter episodes were unwatchable thanks to the endless use of tired footage and shameless rehashing of earlier material.
While Deadliest Catch is immensely watchable and thrilling to the end, this series falls far short of the high bar set by that program.

Editorial Review:
When winter comes to Canada's Northwest Territories, scores of remote villages and work camps are cut off from the rest of the world. The job of keeping these outposts supplied falls to an unusual group of drivers known as the ICE ROAD TRUCKERS. Modern Marvels heads across the frozen wilderness with these long-haul specialists as they steer their massive rigs over hundreds of miles of roads cut across the icy surfaces of frozen lakes. It's the shortest way to reach their destination--sometimes shaving days off the journey--but it is fraught with peril. On the slick surfaces, rigs can lose control and crash. And sometimes the ice will crack, swallowing up the trucks and consigning their drivers to a tragic fate in the icy waters. They ply a route where danger is the rule and rescue all but impossible. Ride along with the ICE ROAD TRUCKERS.
