Ryan S @RT36023761 1d amazing psychological storytelling journey into a fabulous and tormented athlete. See more David F @RT55571476 2d I have no interest in sports whatsoever… but I’m totally addicted to this series. The incredible footage and the death-defying athletics drew me in, and the interesting characters kept me watching. These dudes are freakin’ insane, and their dangerous climbs are truly exciting to watch. I don’t know if I’ve ever been so on edge watching television before. It’s amazing.

I spent a fair amount of time climbing in Yosemite. I was admittedly an extremely amateur and below average big wall climber. I only say this to provide some context for my viewpoint and review. I remember hearing about Dean’s exploits and was incredibly impressed with his fearlessness and daring. At the same time, there was a non trivial amount of back channel impressions of him that were surprisingly negative. Yet, no one could say a word publicly, Dean was a God and saying anything bad about him was not tolerated. There’s no question Dean was absolutely a phenomenal athlete, a visionary in his pursuits, and absolutely driven to be the best. What I liked about this documentary was the very honest look into who he was and the tragedy of his untimely and self inflicted death.

See more Ben J @RT05610157 Apr 14 Exhilarating series that leaves the viewer excited for more every episode. Despite this documentary being post-mortem, they’re able to really capture Deans personality and bring him to life on the screen. See more Read all reviews
