I don't know how legitimate the science being used in this documentary actually is but it certainly gave off the same vibe of those ghost hunting shows on the travel channel. So if you're a fan of those than I guess you'd probably like this documentary.
We open on two of the researches going on a dive, seeing a shark, and then absolutely panicking and fleeing to the boat as the shark ignores them.
One of their experiments consists of sending one of the team down into a cage in the water and then dumping blood and fish guts all over her for some reason. Than they send another person down in a separate cage of see if the blood attracts anything. Seems like it would make more sense to dump fish guts away from the person in the first cage so they can see what is coming towards them but I guess it needed some drama or whatever.
All in all for most of shark week I think a lot of the documentaries are geared at educating people about sharks. This documentary seems more like a group of people trying to show off how badass they are. A ton of "woohoo"-ing, bleeped out words, some death metal, and blood being dumped over a girl in a cage.
Another genius plan consisted of a amputee deciding to hop into a kayak to tag a shark, something that can be done from the side of a real boat - the kayak is immediately attacked by a shark and the guy loses one of his prosthetic limbs and because that didn't work apparently they absolutely NEED to dangle a man over the ocean by a rope to tag a shark and - surprise surprise - falls.
wow so much super cool drama bro.
The whole thing is ridiculous and seems fake.
