I didn't have the highest hopes for this show when I first saw the trailers for it and it still managed to disappoint me.
As someone who detests whalers and strongly feels that more should be done to stop them (among others), I feel that this show is frustrating to watch at best.
***Possible Spoilers (I don't know if anyone would consider it so)*** First, they can't actually do anything to stop the whale ships. Last episode I saw they were trowing BUTTER and stink bombs at the whaling ship! Like a whaling ship doesn't already stink. Come on, it's just silly. But again, frustrating to know that this is the best that they can come up with given their situation. They buzz around the whaling ships and just hope really hard to annoy them into quitting what is probably a very high paying job.
The crew is completely ridiculous and inexperienced. The captain is a fanatic. I mean, it's one thing to have your own personal views, but refusing others to eat what they want to or feel is healthy is insane. The camera man lost a serious amount of weight because he WASN'T ALLOWED TO BRING MEAT/DAIRY ONTO THE SHIP. And the crew cries whenever a whale dies? It's pathetic. If you're going to have that sort of a job you need to toughen the heck up and get it together. None of these people are professionals. They are also very bad actors.
