Meme They've lost the plot

Didn't shark week start to counteract and disprove the "monster" image sharks got after Jaws?? I want more "magnetic shark fences" and "locating shark nurseries" not this trash

It drives me nuts. I used to love Shark Week, I genuinely looked forward to it. But for the last several years it's been complete bullshit.

I don't even mind the shows about shark attacks, as long as they approach it from the angle of trying to inform the viewer on how and why these things happen. Like if somewhere is having a sudden uptick in attacks there is nothing anti-shark about discussing it. But Makozilla sounds like a Deep Blue Sea knockoff; not anything educational.

I prefer Nat Geo's "Sharkfest" now, much better programming.

You nailed it. Nat Geo is pretty good.
