is this the same boat that used to have that whaling reality show. I wonder what happen to those guys, didn't outlast the crab show.

I can’t believe how long the crab show has been on. It’s basically the same episode over and over.

Will they catch enough crabs? Will anyone be lost to the fury of an angry sea? What about personal demons? Surely they have those?

It’s a background noise show. Put on the crab show, clean, watch an interesting bit, organize, watch a fight on a boat, text some people repeat.

I know this probably makes me a awful person, but I couldn’t stand the Sea Shepard people based on the show alone. When I researched, and found out about all the other sketchy things they did (top comments mentions some). I actively started rooting against them.

Deadliest Catch?

I'm just waiting for the day they all catch nothing cause we fucked the oceans.
