I Survived... (2008– )
7/10
Compelling stories but trying format
14 January 2022
I find survival stories fascinating. For some reason, the first 2 of this series were frustrating for me. Contrary to the write-up there are no reenactments. 90% is the camera focused on the actual victim telling the story and the lens is so close it's a level of discomfort. The slow pace is often agonizing and weaving between stories was confusing. But despite these aspects, it's hard not to be engaged with most of the stories. Some I recall being in the news. I was very moved by many of them.

I admit, though, later I was on my phone playing a game instead of giving my full attention to such limited visuals. However, using this method will cause you to miss the unusually large amount of text periodically flashed on the screen of negligible additions and reiterations to the story.

In one review, someone claiming to be from Texas tells us there are no wolves or mountains in Southeast Texas and questions the show's research methods. But actually, wolves not only do exist in the Gulfcoast of Southeast Texas but one of the species known to be dwindling in numbers is actually still there - one of their last known habitats in the Chisos Mountains in Southeast Texas.
