Great if you like sharks. Not all the programming is worth it but as a whole it’s good.

I just love me some sharks, man. It ain't that deep

Always excited to see which celebrity hosts to show everyone they've really reached rock bottom. Otherwise, educational show

Even in its 300th season of Shark Week it's still fun and entertaining. Anything and everything shark, what's not to like?

Interesting and informative. I look forward to watching it with my dad every year... it's easily my favorite part of summer!

It's pretty interesting. Maybe I'll rewatch some of it.

I’m always at the beach during Shark Week...but I still love this show! So crazy and I learn so much!

The most boring week is what shark week is.

Always reliable good fun. Nature is amazing, and this makes that so incredibly clear. Absolutely fascinating!
