THE DEADLIEST CATCH - Series 2 (3 dvd set)

 

Region 2

 

The series follows life on "the vast Bering Sea" aboard five or more crab fishing boats (the four featured vessels—Cornelia Marie, Wizard, Northwestern, and Time Bandit—and one or more "wild card" boats that are shown for all or part of a single season) during two of the dangerous crab fishing seasons, the October king crab season and the January opilio crab (a.k.a. C. opilio; often referred to as "snow crab" or "opies") season. The show emphasizes the real danger to the crew on the decks of these boats (and the Discovery Channel camera crews filming them) as crews ply their trade while ducking heavy crab pots swinging into position, maneuvering hundreds and thousands of pounds of crab across a deck strewn with tripping hazards (holding tank hatches, uneven surfaces, maintenance access plates), and leaning over the rails to position pots for either launch or retrieval as gale-force winds and waves four to five times taller than an average man constantly lash over the deck. The series also documents the dangers of even being on a boat in the Bering Sea crab grounds, in the midst of some of the coldest and stormiest waters on earth, where even the most minor problem becomes complex and requires considerable ingenuity to solve when the nearest port of any kind is often hundreds of miles away.
