The reason i looked this one up, is because i love the "i shouldnt be alive"-series.. Whats great about i shouldnt be alive in my opinion, is the mix of the story being told together with reenactments which are very well done.. This show only consists of the stories being told by the survivors.. They should have made a podcast version of it instead, that media would suit it better..

I love this series and wish more episodes could be created. Listening to people's personal experiences of true heroism under the most extreme circumstances is awe inspiring. God bless these people and their families and thank you for sharing your stories in hopes that maybe others can learn from what you survived.

I Survived on Biography is a show, told by the actual persons involved, of their harrowing stories/personal accounts of situations in which they should have lost their lives, but lived through it. From a teenager abducted and lit on fire in the trunk of a car, to another who was hitch-hiking, picked up by an insane attacker who cut off her arms, raped her and left her for dead... to accident victims and people who survived catastrophes, the stories are intense and often astounding they lived through such horror. Each story has you holding your breath in anticipation of the next horrific detail and in the end your wondering how any human being could not only survive, but go on to live any kind of a normal life. I HIGHLY recommend this show, along with it's companion show, *I survived, beyond and back which details accounts of those who died during these stories and had experiences 'on the other side'. I Survived is amazing.

I really don't see how certain shows gain the title as being a reality television show because in all honestly there is nothing real about any of them!!! All they consist of is either trashy activity that is seen as either funny or obnoxious, and people who become famous overnight because of numerous shallow reasons , but this show has so much more to offer, and is a great example of what Reality Television really is. "I survived.." is more than just a t.v show... it consists of real people who don't care about being popular,gaining 15 minutes of fame, or being a Hollywood star.. they are just ordinary,and humble, and have a story to tell. Every time i watch this show i tip my hat to these people who are willing to share their experiences because it can't be easy, and some episodes are really hard to watch without questioning humanity, shedding a tear, or cringing once in a while which is the one downfall, but i still give it 10 out of 10 stars.. I'd give it 20 if i could.
