Time for great white serial killer. 
Wait are they talking about white sharks killing sea otters?

                        We’re in California. 
And we’re calling predation “unexplained shark attacks?” and brutal serial killings? Seriously?

                        This is a very weirdly abrupt shift in tone and focus from previous great white serial killer shows and I don’t know why they didn’t just call it something else?
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        Let’s be clear: the reason why sea otters are endangered is because humans killed them not because of sharks. 
And now we’re randomly in Mexico, where they just said there are no otters
                    
                                    
                    And now we’re randomly in Mexico, where they just said there are no otters
                        
                        
                        White sharks did not wipe out otters in Mexico that’s preposterous nonsense. 
To test this we’re gonna have a dude sit on a piece of plastic to see if sharks try to eat him? Wait what?

                        This show is very bad and pointless but is notably different in why it’s bad and pointless vs. past “great white serial killer” shows
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        This guy sitting in a plastic box lying on his back “to simulate a sea otter” is straight up the most ridiculous nonsense I’ve seen in a long time.
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        “There are lots of great white sharks in California but we’re gonna go to Mexico to find great white sharks that have maybe been to California, because reasons”
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        Now we’re talking with people who have been bitten by sharks to get an otter’s perspective I guess? This show is a mess

                        It’s not clear what they’re trying to learn in this show. The California government scientist told them exactly what’s going on already. I’m so confused.

                        Why are we doing experiments about how otters are killed by sharks? We know. Sharks kill otters by biting them. We already said this. They already showed video of it.

                        This show is very bad. It tried to be about science but failed hard. 
What a goofy backwards ocean conservation message.
