If you are tired of the Hoffman's debacles but still enjoy watching shows that take place in Alaska and deal with hunting for gold, this show is a gold mine! (pun intended). I like all the characters on this show, especially Zeke, Emily, and the Kelly's. There is a lot of danger in the show and it keeps your attention all the way through. I'm really hoping there will be a season 9!

My TV dinner is coupled with recorded episodes of Bering Sea Gold. Not that I am always in front of the TV when I'm enjoying a meal, but for those nights when supper is a pizza and some TV, this show fits perfectly and it's been that way around here with Bering Sea Gold for a while, we love it in my house. It's incredible what these folks do in real terms and I feel that we've seen a good balance from the producers... The deal is simple, people risk their lives even before they dive by taking those little vessels out on the ocean (and get this! The ice too!!!!) and we get to see it all kicking off, nothing is hidden. The cast is awesome and there's something for everyone in the pot in terms of characters to warm to, The Kelleys are my favourites and I'd love to see them do well! Keep up the great work with this production, I'm not sure I'd survive without my fix of the Kelleys and the on and off friendship of the rest. Brilliant!

It's a group of ragtag group of miners who are trying to find gold off shores off Nome, Alaska. There are the Pomrenkes father and son team who has a massive dredge. Scott Meisterheim is a perpetually angry drunk. Zeke Tenhoff is an obsessed driven young guy. Steve Riedel is the flake with her opera singer daughter Emily who is an amateur in this whole thing. While Vernon Adkison is an old guy who spends more money than he makes.What I love about this show is two folds. I love the amateur and in many case experimental jerry-rigged equipment. There is no standard equipment for this type of work, and there's more duct tape than reasonably safe boats should have. I find the home grown science absolutely fascinating. The other is the distressed relationships of these people. There are some crazy personalities in this show. The only drawback like all 'reality' show is any faking. I can see some fudging going on especially with the money being discussed. The fact that so many of them do so badly seems to point to limited padding of the results. As for the dysfunctional relationship, the death of one of the divers also point to limited faking. It doesn't mean that something isn't being faked. 'Reality' isn't always reality nowadays.

Do Not Watch This. Unless You Want To Be Depressed. These People are so very depressing. Not a single nice person in sight. I guarantee you that none of the people in this program will ever be happy or successful. They moan and whine and complain and get each other killed and are just incompetent and boring and greedy and ungrateful. There is no heart or soul to this series. This is the Complete Opposite of GOLD RUSH - where the show is filled with Warm Human people. Bearing sea gold is a nasty collection of rather unpleasant people trying to grab gold and failing miserably. You do not warm to any of the players. They all suck. They are all very negative people! Don't bother watching this rubbish. It will depress you rather than entertain you.................
