I checked shark week this year. It doesn't look good. There's two or three documentaries that look interesting and show promise to be well made; but the rest of it all looks like nothing more than shark attack sensationalism featuring only the great white shark or one of the "ten deadliest sharks".
 
Well, what did you expect?? The days of hearing David Attenborough's calm and informative commentary are gone, the people watching Shark Week nowadays are pretty much like the Nascar crowd, just waiting for next spectacular crash...

Ironic, that at a point, where conservationist efforts in many parts of the world are actually gaining traction, Shark Week, for the sake of ratings, continues to follow the mantra of the "Jaws" movies, bigger, badder, meaner..., scare the sh=t outta people, and they will watch...

Sad.
