Anybody else find "Deadliest Catch" as captivating as I do?

Having weathered several South Pacific typhoons, one of which, out of sheer abject fear of drowning, trapped below decks, drove me to tying myself to a stanchion on an open signal bridge for three consecutive nights as the ship consistently took 47 deg. rolls (critical roll was 45 degrees on the vessel I was on - every roll beyond 45 degrees and there was no expectation that she'd come back), I'm fascinated by the grit of the fishermen on this series.

I watch in awe the lengths to which these dudes go to make a living fishing for crab in the Bering Sea.

In the T.V. wasteland, "reality T.V." generally disgusts me. But I see "Deadliest Catch" as no bull***** reality - and I am impressed.

What are your takes on this series?
