This show which began as a groundbreaking exploration into my favorite animal has turned into some thing that appears to be written produced and edited by children.
Every season should bring more insights, more scientific data, and bring the viewer into the evolving world of shark knowledge. Over the years there were some great devices and strategies for learning more about these animals and regular updates could make the show more valuable or worth watching however season after season these initiatives are never updated going back to or further developed instead viewers are being fed a pathetic amount of facts data and information which could be told in 3 minutes but they milk over an entire episodes. Instead of getting smarter and building peoples knowledge of these animals it gets dumber by the season - more and more uneducational.
Is there anyone left in the world actually doing real shark science, if there is they are not featured in this program any longer. Not only has the show stopped having goals or quests or studies or missions that are scientifically significant but the claims they make, processes they follow and conclusions they present are pathetic and mostly bad-fake-false science.

Story about an ultra rich family and their private island compound off the coast of Marthas Vineyard, USA. The show has an extremely heavy dramatic theme with some limited mystery vibes mixed in.
The main characters are a teenage group of friends (cousins) referred to collectively by their childhood nickname of "the liars". Over the episodes you come to understand how every single family member is a selfish entitled and ultimately unremorseful liar as well. There is a heavy dose of family tradition and expected behaviors, running throughout the series which is based on appearances and void of integrity, morality or love.
Overall this show offers nothing redeeming. The major feeling the viewer is left with is disgust. If you somehow haven't yet realized in real life that many ultra rich elites enjoy legal double standards, and value their ability to create/maintain control over societies and individuals more highly than money itself, maybe this series will teach you something? For me and most people I think that's nothing groundbreaking or interesting enough to waste hours watching. I find it ridiculous hilarious and extremely surprising there may be another season but I know for 1000% I will not be watching anymore of these vile characters.

New York City, Manhattan, deathmatch: One side is motivated by/towards titles and institutionalized power. The other side is motivated by/towards adventure and money. Both go after it through criminality.
Overall: Its just pathetic and uninteresting to watch these Multi-millionaires and billionaires acting hyper sensitive and very petty, for hours on end.
Ultimately a Frustrating look at big money market players and government prosecutors in NYC. Basically every one in the show is a criminal, regardless of what their title or status is, in life. The modus operandi, goals and ethics portrayed by elected justice officials are selfish, disgusting, conflicted and corrupt. Strangely, the billionaire hedge fund boss is more representative of, responsive to, and motivated by the concerns of the average American, than the US Attorneys are.
In this show, the hypocritical government men are the major bad guys who break more laws than the people they are trying to lock up...as I see it.
The plot is forced to rely a lot on the big stakes of the story, and not the characters themselves. Halfway through season 2 there's still no solid character to invest in or really root for: The district attorney is personally and professionally gross and corrupt, driven by jealousy and status obsessed. The head of the hedge fund is corrupt, and everyone else except the US Attorney's wife, is a firmly just a side character. She is perhaps the most pathetic character in the show married to the government prosecutor but she works for the hedge fund boss and yet she is loyal only to her own selfish whims, lying and backstabbing all the way.
Another wife, the wife of the hedge fund boss, is the closest we have to a 'good guy' character, trying to keep her Family operate and grounded...but she is not consequential enough in the episodes to be considered a major player.
By the time you get through season three the whole thing becomes stale... The pace slows way down and story or an resolutions get harder and harder hard to find.
Seasons five and six I could barely watch and I was fighting the temptation just to watch a recap - summary every episode instead of subjecting myself to the nonsense onscreen. Everything moves from the show about legal posturing court room maneuvering political games and wall street maneuvering, into PERSONAL DRAMA CENTRAL.
The story & central casting sadly crashes from being about political and financial genius, to about insecure, jealous weaklings.
