Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

mountainmanrick-49298 I guess the reality TV "formula" dictates that couch potatoes with no life of their own want to watch low-lifes squabble and bicker. This series has plenty of that.The premise of ocean gold dredging in the most remote corner of Alaska has a lot of potential, but I have already seen enough chain smoking trailer trash, cursing at one another as a normal means of communication to last me a lifetime. Throughout the episodes, producers dangle the hope that we will get to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the outdoors, cobble together makeshift gold-getting equipment by our Yankee ingenuity and realize the American dream of striking it rich by the sweat of our brow. After all, isn't it every man and woman's dream to flip off the boss, sell the house and live off the bounty of this great land? That is the fantasy we want to watch; not transplanted white trash tweekers running amuck to the constant "beep- beep" sound-over covering their foul mouths.In the end, it is all just scripted, boring low-brow "drama" and completely misses the mark.

startortoise 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!

lloyd1018 FIRST IMPRESSION (seasons 1 and 2)Yes I'm hooked on this latest reality offering. BSG is a must see if you enjoy seeing a disparate group of quirky characters struggle to get rich quick. Many are up to their eyeballs in debt and need a mini El Dorado to put them back on their financial feet. Most people contemplate panning or digging for their gold. Not this group of adventurers. They all go out to sea on dinky little barges and dive for their gold. Sucking up the booty from the sea floor using industrial strength vacuum hoses. All except the Pomrenkes who mine from a massive barge using a dredge to scoop up gold bearing silt.I love the contrasts of characters in this show. The aforementioned Pomrenkes exhibit the classic father and son schism that makes for good drama. Zeke lusts after Emily to no avail. Emily has aspirations to be an opera singer. Yeah right! And Sarah Palin had aspirations of being president. Emily's dad is a complex character who drives his boss Vern crazy. And then there's Scott, an anti hero if ever there was one. I was amazed to see him return for a second series. Not only that, he had 'friends' working on his boat. Although I don't know how long they'll last as friends.All in all it's a very entertaining show. I doubt whether any of them will become rich but they are on an interesting journey.LATEST IMPRESSION (seas0ons 3 and 4)Sadly BSG has now become a farcical soap opera. Little time is now spent focusing on gold dredging. Season 4 is more about the antics of featured 'personalities' such as Brad Kelly, Shawn Pomrenke and Emily Reidel. I find none of these people particularly appealing and personally question the authenticity of this show. Some say it's scripted and I wouldn't be surprised if that was revealed to be the case. Call me cynical but I smell a rat. I now find this show hard to watch and sincerely hope the producers return the focus of the program to gold digging adventurers trying to make it big. If you also feel jaded by this version of 'reality' then you could do a lot worse than watching Yukon Gold, a show without the gimmicks that BSG feels is necessary to chase the ratings.

sikdave-286-1455 Love this show, enough to sign into IMDb and leave a review for the first time.Bering Sea Gold features real life gold miners with a difference - dredging the ocean floor for gold, from home made punts (small boats) and super dodgy equipment. Better than Gold Rush Alaska, Black Gold and Deadliest Catch. If you're into these kind of reality "man" shows, you will rate this highly.Only up to episode 2 and it's got great story telling, actually quite suspenseful in parts, real characters from all walks of life and operating all sorts of equipment. It's very similar to Gold Rush Alaska but has better content.Editing is good, not a lot of that American "fast forward/rewind" technique like in Gold Rush & Dr. Phil... Give it a crack and rate it. Easily a 8-9 for me.
