Becky B @RT72859552 07/09/2024 I loved this show! It was so refreshing to have a Shark Week show that had minimal drama and maximum shark science. A lot of the new shows are sensationalist and don't actually show the importance of shark science. This show had a perfect amount of science while still having me on the edge of my seat. Of course there would be some drama, being that 8 people are competing for the chance at an internship with a shark scientist, but it was not much at all. Highly recommend!
