So disappointed with Discovery for this mockumentary. I watch Shark Week to learn about and see true stories about sharks, not watch made up drivel passed off as real to fool people. Its irresponsible of Discovery to pass this show off as fact, even with the pre-show "disclaimer" that most people missed. Ill watch Syfy to get my fake shark movies...keep Discovery for the real facts.

After the last 2 years' mockumentaries on the megalodon where actors falsely portrayed scientists and biologists and lied their asses off and used false info and made up incidents and did it to gain greater ratings, I don't trust anything Discovery puts out anymore. Gang of liars. Discovery has lost a lot of respect and credibility and now they've come up with even more lies and rip offs to deceive their viewers. Nobody wants fairytales and crackpipe theories: WE WANT TRUTH AND GENUINE TRUE EVIDENCE,..

I have loved this show since it came out. It has helped bring get out awareness for sharks and to let people learn and start to see them as beautiful, majestic creatures of the ocean. Rather than the stereotype that they had been given for so many years. This show is just getting better with time and over the years. Plus as more research and more people are starting to want to know more and see more, there is now and eagerness to want to learn about these amazing animals.
