Secrets in the Ice

Random "experts" weigh in with stilted reading of some terribly written pseudo exposition. It is written at about a grade 6 level and delivered woodenly by these people who couldn't act or voice-over a commercial for ass cream.

This is the exact same formula used by a multitude of shows like this in regular rotation on the History Channel, Cottage Life as infinitum. The only saving grace is the fact Andrew Gough hasn't popped his smarmy head up yet. And a fair bit of the topics really have nothing to do with ice or anything frozen in it. So once again, stretched out and overly dramatic topics explained by the world's worst actors.

I'm enjoying this series. It's something a bit different, plus I find ice endlessly fascinating! Some other reviewers seem to find the variety of possible theories given, annoying, but I don't mind this at all. It teaches you other facts about different cultures, geography, geology etc. The only thing that really annoys me, is the narrator's voice!

I like the show, however, when Tyler Irving (a Science Reporter) said "these ones" in a sentence about the craters in the Witch's Hole I could not believe my hearing. Really Tyler. It's "this one" or "these".

I enjoyed this series. It's quite unique, I think.

The one thing that really grated on me, was the narrator's voice!

I've heard him before, on other series, and it almost drives me to turn the TV off!

What an excellent series but marred by the voice of the commentator, he lets out a sharp breath almost a cough at the end of a comment which annoys me so much I haven't been able to watch the whole series, silly I know but when something annoys you so much it's difficult to not hear it...
