When Sharks Attack (2013–2022) User Reviews

fake science and drama

[sttiger-18248 · 5/10 · 29 May 2023]

I gave it a 5 because it is ok, half the time but i just had to watch some very fake scenes about Wind Power creating an increase of shark attacks off of California. After thier usually bucket of "fake science" they make the statement that California does not have any windmills in the water? Why babble such nonsense? This is endless, these made up fake stories make up over 50% of the show. Seems my post is not long enough and i have to write more words, I have to add more words. Not that everything I meant towards the show was not said. My comment has to have ... "Minimum character limit met."

Ridiculous and just plain silly

Hey! Start watching Instagram feeds like Scott Fairchild and Themalibuartist instead of silly shows like this. Just like the movie Jaws and the Australian press - this show is all sensationalism. Sharks live in the ocean and are an important piece of the ecosystem.

Until drones actually demonstrated that sharks and surfers/swimmers/stand up paddlers have actually always been together in the ocean, no one realised how often interactions occur with thousands of unseen (except for from an occasional drone) interactions daily!

Shows like this, along with the Australian press, use words like "monster" to persuade viewers that a shark in the water (where they live) is "instant death" for humans. Get real!

Garbage.

This is a sad documentary. It uses inflammatory language meant to instill fear. It also likes to imply that the ocean and it's "vacation" spots are somehow supposed to be off limits to sharks. Let's get this clear, the ocean's are shark's homes, we are the intruders. They aren't attacks, they are animals inspecting and protecting their homes. The language used in this documentary are so pathetic and do not help people understand that sharks are not evil.

Learned so much about sharks

This is a great series, I've learned so much about sharks and when to and when not to go in the water. Real stories of experiences and overall a really great series.

Terrible

The show is extremely misleading and borders on exploitation of peoples fears, first let's get this right you as a human are the invader in basically every part of this planet. Sharks have just as much right to be where they are as you do if not more so. Next after watching this atrocity I noticed they continually bring up reasons as to why sharks are hunting further into the shallows etc. I've heard them blame natural disasters, odd or unknown behaviors, and to a slight degree some human interference, I'll spell this out for you very plainly side it's the only thing they never mentioned. Maybe just maybe sharks are forced to hunt closer to shore due to mass overfishing world wide because at the end of the day humans are the problem. To bring that point home I suggest doing even a minimal amount of research and you'll find sure to the fishing industry the oceans population has dropped drastically over decade's. In my final thoughts if this bothers you then I'll answer that question in the back of your mind. YES you are part of the problem.
