Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment (2009)
Wonderful for the discerning viewer
7 November 2023
If you are looking for high drama, heavy handed directing and "intense survival", then sure this may not be for you.
However, if you are looking for a show that shys away from the crowd, electing for a slower pace. Then you have found your place
This veristic approach to the survival genre brings a breath or fresh air. No professionals. No machismo needed. Just 9 strangers with little to no experience in the great outdoors, embarking on a backpacking journey together.
Come for the scenery and stay for the adventure. The ordinary nature of the cast and slower pace of the real wild are why this show shines. Perhaps this may not make for the most thrilling experience, but if that's what you are looking for here, you missed the point entirely.
