Alaska State Troopers

Alaska State Troopers takes you on an informative and entertaining journey through the everyday lives of the Alaska State Troopers. The troopers work as a jack of all trade unit, often balancing between highway patrol and metro city divisions, to far off and extreme rural and remote regions of the state. Additionally, the ASTs also enforce hunting and fishing laws. This show gives a great glance into another way of life and gives a rare look into one of the most unique law enforcement agencies in the United States. This show is appropriate for almost everyone but keep in mind there maybe some topics that people find disturbing or qualmful, including drug use, car accidents, violent crime, and the inspection of deceased animals.

Alaska state troopers is a great show and is very interesting to watch. If your someone who likes the outdoors and is into law enforcement it is a great watch and I'd highly reccommend it. What I think makes the show so great is that Alaska is a huge state and has beautiful wildlife and rugged terrain. I think that helps make the show great that the police troopers(officers) have to face all sorts of challenges while doing there job. What I like most about it is that the show is very interesting and has nonstop action through stopping crime in the streets of Fairbanks and anchorage to protecting wildlife in the Denali mountains and Kenai mountains and all the rest of Alaska. Overall I would decently recommend the show to anyone interested.

The producers dish out the same trendy anti-climactic terrible music and narration as the other trendy (and terrible) shows. Constant "scary" sounding drums when you can easily predict every little thing that will happen, of course they play a scene where a trooper screams... then loops it again.. and then goes to commercials.. then comes back and plays the exact loop a 3rd time, and then what happens? NOTHING> this happens about 3 times each and every episode. not to mention the comments they make are so retarded. they should have taken notes from cops and exactly how they set up the show if they wanted this to be 100% what it could have been. instead it follows the same predictable pathetic guidelines as TV shows like "UFO Hunters" who make out like before every commercial break they will be attacked by aliens and make world news.. only you know they wont, because there was no world news and i hardly think it'd break on a show like that, and of course only after you wait for commercials. Long live the troopers. Only saving grace to this show. You should get rid of the show the producers are making you look like a typical media side show.

The stories ARE interesting, but the presentation is AWFUL. Hyped up over dramatic background music, a narrator that explains things like you're a two year old, repetition of the same scenes over and over again, obnoxious zoom ins on faces and eyes (or sunglasses usually). No scene lasts more than 10 seconds before it cuts to something else. Can't risk someone losing interest.

I suppose this is just a product of our time. If they could re-issue the show without the narrator and background music I think it'd be watchable, even with all the quick cuts. But as it stands I can't handle this show. Especially when we've got 30+ seasons of COPS available.

I love the wildlife and wilderness perspectives of this show. That's what makes this show a better version of Cops.
