      I downloaded this, thinking it might be interesting, but soon I realized that this was utter crap!

      The whole series concept is like that of many; Time Vs. Tech. Meaning, there's that deadline and the narrator, as well as the crew keeps you reminded of it. I personally wish that guys like these could just be given a task and complete it in their own time, not having suspenseful music playing, weird cutting and making the viewer nauseated by the nagging time-issue all the time. Also, why are Americans constantly treating its audience like senile morons? Is it because there are like 500 channels and it's easy to get lost while zapping through the commercial breaks, so that you have to remind them of what they were watching before they got...
