My wife ended up getting sucked in, and wound up watching probably 3/4 of the series with me. I think they're right at 55 minutes per episode; and each one is focused on a particular subject matter.

It shows a decent chunk of the inner workings of the ship, different jobs on the ship etc. But I found it had a really good character line; it follows a handful of people around, they do lots of small interviews with them. So you learn alot of about where they're from, why they joined, why the love/hate it etc. So, that aspect is probably what my wife enjoyed the most.

I really enjoyed it. And, like I said, it wasn't watered down like it would be if MSNBC/FOX/Large Network etc were doing it. It was pretty darn accurate in terms of what it's like on the ship; long hours, Gung Ho Pilots, missing loved ones, port calls, etc.
