My 11-year-old boys were glued to the screen -- me too! It's cut in a dramatic suspenseful way, and although the manipulation of the audience is pretty obvious, it's still supercharged and fun. The science and logisitcs of tornado-chasing were very interesting. Highly recommended.

What Parents Need to Know
About Storm Chasers
Parents need to know that this suspenseful docuseries has a tense atmosphere, frequent references to potential peril, and strong language ("f--k" and "s--t" are bleeped; others aren't). Both on-camera team members and the narrator often mention the possibility of the crew dying in their quest for new footage, and viewers easily sense the rising tension within the group as danger approaches. Scenes of tornadoes' devastating aftermath may be upsetting for kids and tweens, particularly any with first-hand storm experience. But for teens and adults, the series is an intriguing close-up look at how tornadoes form and wreak their trademark havoc.

Exciting!

Can get boring quickly
The same old type of stuff as on other shows: frustrations (in trying to film the interior of a tornado), personality conflicts, the Imax videographer is a nut case. See it once, you've seen all the other reality shows. Boring!
