A decent show for those interested in the profession but a lot of the episodes kind of just blend together given that everyone has the same job doing the same thing. Probably not bad to watch on occasion but not something I'd ever want to marathon.

There was a period in my life where watching this was a weekly event and one I looked forward to. Like anything this successful though, it just went on too long and while the people are still interesting, their stories just blended together at a certain point. I'm sure it's still fine but I'm long past watching.

Overly dramatized schlock that helped birth Ax Men and Ice Road Truckers. Thanks!

IIRC this was the first reality show documenting normal jobs in a hyped or strongly dramatized framing, something that lead to this: youtube.com/watch?v=RAdcV5IZM8Y It's the male equivalent of this: youtube.com/watch?v=r-j9_SPQvns
