I had a little to know faith that the show would be different from any other crockpot show that just repeats the same thing over and over again with three seconds of footage they tease you with, then you come to find out that's all they have.
I'm not sure how it took so long to get a show about whether like this, but they nailed it. From all appearances it's respectful to the people who lost everything and the people who were lost. It also shows many different perspectives and different storms in one episode, but it's nicely tied together.
There is no part you need to fast forward, and there is no repeated footage. It gets to the point while covering a great deal more than any other series has been able to do this far in the tv era.
The footage is captured by the people who actually experienced the storm their cameos are enlightening and gutwrenching. The stories that come from the victims serve the purpose to hopefully help others stay safe in this storm.
