In the Long line of reality TV shows you will hardly find any series as good as The Last Alaskans. This survival reality tv series is as good as it gets. It is an open secret in Hollywood that all reality shows are scripted. These shows play with the mind and emotions of audience so that they can pull out certain emotions while making the viewer feel connected to it.
But The Last Alaskans does not follow this method. It follows the rawness of the concept that gave birth to reality tv shows. The people shown in the series are neither actors nor they are paid to perform certain acts. Instead they are giving audience an inside peak of how tough it is to survive in Alaska.
The land of wilderness and snow is yet to be fully explored. This state is distant from other states of America in terms of technology, resources and society. The Last Alaskans successfully documents these facts and give the audience a fresh reality series.

Why The Last Alaskans is the Best Reality Series
CINEMATOGRAPHY. Imagine witnessing the raw beauty of earths that is untouched for millions of years? Imagine watching it in HD quality without any $hitty music or distracting voice-over.
The Last Alaskans comes really close showing it. We meet a 60 year old man in season 1 who shares how he survived in the bone chilling winds and freezing temperature of Alaska.
A couple in mid 60s shares their beautiful love story that took place in the wilderness of Alaska. We meet a family of 5 where the 3 daughters shares knowledge about fishing and eating in Alaska.
The background music just adds to the beauty of Alaska and gives you feels. You realize that these people are living an extraordinary life under extra ordinary circumstances. You soon feel like you are taking your life for granted as there are people who need to fight to survive, who need to fight on a daily basis just to get food or just to visit a friend couple of miles away.
The show successfully captures the snowfall, the pale yellow sun, the blood moon, the sunset and so many beautiful things that cannot be expressed in words.
