A Disappointing Continuation

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Yet another show where the environment is secondary to entertainment and greed is more important than conservation. How much of our dwindling wilderness is being trashed by endless reality TV shows in order to make money and entertain couch potatoes?Drop them in the middle of the ocean and let them survive that or become fish food! That would let the wildlife have the upper-hand for onceI see these are being tagged as documentaries, how are these shows documentaries? Attenborough does documentaries, reality TV doesn't even come close to fitting the description of a documentary.

I binge watched Alone, season 2 this/last week and really enjoyed it. The show brings 10 survival experts to a remote location (Vancouver Island in season 2) and then leaves them... all alone to forage, fish, hunt, etc. It's clear that the challenges in the first few weeks are physical: secure shelter, forage, hunt, or fish for a secure food source. After a month, the "game" becomes mental: how do you live without social interaction, how do you deal with the physical stresses , lack of calories, etc.The show is shot by the participants, so the camera-work varies - some good, some bad. But it makes the show engaging, and obviously there's some professional camera work for cut-scenes and introductions. Overall I really liked the show and added it to my "season pass" list for season 3, which looks to be filmed in Patagonia, in South America. Good luck to the season 3 participants!

Finally a "non reality" show that captures your interest up to the final episode. I really don't appreciate reality shows and I blame the Dutch for inventing the "Big Brother" and giving birth to this polluting TV Show genre. But I digress..This show is phenomenal, mainly cause, as previously said by warblerluvr (a fellow IMDb user) it lacks of an annoying all-knowing host figure and there is no competition among participants for food or tool rewards which just brings out the worse in humans. I learnt a lot of survival tricks and different ways to manage yourself in adverse situations to the point that I would describe this show not only entertaining but highly educational. Now I really want to experience this kind of survival adventure for myself and learn more about the several techniques involved in the process.Of course there are also a few downs but really understandable ones:You obviously cannot like every single participant and luckily most of the annoying ones are the first and fastest to go, mostly cause they just don't have an inch of what it would take to really embark in such an adventure!Lots of repetitions i.e the same footage and lines reused before and after commercials (I watched it without so I guess for me was even worse) but again, I guess that due to the lack of other form of entertainment but the self filming participants it was just bound to happen.I would have appreciated the network acknowledgement that of course the show is filled with amazing and clearly professional shot footage of nature in all its beauties and adversities instead of pretty much just going with the "all the footage was self shot by each contender".All in all this was a great show, my favourite 2 characters from the very first episode proved to be the best and most deserving ones and had an exciting "head to head" finale! Great job History Channel, I thank you for this! I will definitely enjoy a second season of this as long as nothing changes and its kept as honest and truthful as season 1 has been!

Someone posted, there isn't one documented wolf attack in history. You need to do some research. Many documented attacks plus 5 fatal attacks since 1989. Most recent attack, a 14 yr old boy in MN. He survived. A woman was killed by 2 wolves just a few yrs ago in Alaska.Just the lack of sunshine for so long will cause great psychological stress.Those that give it low ratings probably want a somewhat scripted/planned show like Survivor or Amazing Race.Of course its a slow paced show, no host to try and make it interesting, no competition for food rewards, no hype. It is just men left alone to record their daily struggles.
