Really Surprised!

Lack of good storyline.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There are a lot of people out there criticizing, criticizing, and criticizing but what for? Because I can bet loads of money that you, the criticizers, have no guts to go out there and do what the Sea Shepheards do. Going out there to risk your life to prove a point requires dedication, heart, hope, something you will not, nor ever have. So whatever these guys are inexperienced but they have something the enemy doesn't have, which is dedication. Isn't there a saying that if you really put your mind to something that you can do whatever the heart desires? Last time I checked there is. The desire of the Sea Shepheard is to stop the merciless killing of thousands of innocent whales. So what if their tactics are mediocre but, hey they work. They must work if the whalers put up nets to stop from them throwing stink bombs (that are completely harmless), they install LRAD devices to ward them off, but NEWSFLASH:all of what they do doesn't seem to work because hey the Sea Shepheard keep coming back. These guys aren't terrorists in any way. Terrorist are people who go against international law. These people don't. There is a law that if government forces aren't going to enforce the law, they can. So watch this show it shows real bravery, real heart, and you have to admit real entertainment. I mean every time a show premiers I just can't wait for the next one to premiere.

This show is surprisingly enjoyable when viewed as a comedy. If taken seriously this show is quite bad. Make sure you watch it with friends so you can laugh together at hilarious failure upon failure. Find that character that you love to hate. Crazy environmentalists wage a "war" trying to stop Japanese whaling in the Antarctic, but they are startlingly ineffective. Watching the clueless Sea Shepherd try to outmaneuver whalers with limited resources and poor tactics creates a truly fascinating television series. Brainless ideas are abundant and mistakes are guaranteed to be repeated twice. How many millions of dollars in donations are these clowns going to waste while they try to figure out the secret of saving a whale?

Separating politics from the show is a critical first step to deciding whether this show is watchable or not. Whether you want to slaughter every living thing on the planet and eat it, or whether you don't think humans should kill anything and absorb our nutrition out of the air is irrelevant to the quality...That being said...Does the show entertain: yes. God knows each time those guys and gals do something you are just waiting for one of them to screw up. These people are not professionals and their lack of training is beyond apparent. Also you have the disconnection between the captain and reality. Everything that happens (including every misstep) is spun into a positive happy message... and the show allows the knife of the camera to cut right through the bull. At the same time you also get to see the world from THEIR perspective.The show is NOT about whaling... the show is about these guys and gals behavior in an very strange situation. THAT is what documentaries are about... and this show is done well....

Please are you guys serious about how Watson's group are terrorists... what they do is go up to a Whaling ship, asks them to stop and then Gives them a letter telling them what they are doing is illegal. Yes OK, they throw the acid stuff on board(harmless except to smell) and jumped on the ship which is being a pirate but it is nothing as bad as what the Japanese do. The Japanese tied them up, attacked them, and attempted to throw them off board? They also throw Grenades at the ship which can hurt the crew and shot the captain.Anyways This show is great. It's about how a group of "activists" use direct force to stop the Japanese whalers who "are doing research on whales" when they are really whaling. Instead of telling them to stop and while the government does nothing to enforce it they intervene directly by Chasing them and going on their ships telling them to stop. While the Japanese uses Physical attacking and grenade.Watch this show :]
