Summary: I love the ocean; but ... whether or not I ever get in again is another story...
Comment: I bought this collection for my son and myself because we love the ocean and sharks. But I have to be honest; I have a whole new respect for what is lurking in the waters. The collection is very thorough and heavily filled with information regarding these amazing animals.
My son loves it and is impressed with the different kinds of sharks shown on the dvd. It isn't all about great whites; but after watching this you will be glad they are the biggest biting sharks we have in the ocean.
I would definitely recommend this collection. Some of the information does overlap but all in all a great collection to have. If you are squeamish though there are some of the episodes that you will not want to watch. But if you are like me and while it scares the crap out of you to think of ever getting bitten by a shark; curiousity wins.

Summary: Too much sensationalism, not enough substance.
Comment: This set contains some truly fantastic footage of sharks, especially great whites, but is sadly lacking in its quantity of real science on sharks. Virtually nothing is covered on shark biology, physiology, number of species, ranges, habits, etc. Including such information so that the series took the viewers to school and truly educated us about sharks---in addition to the sensational shots of attacks on humans and other prey---would have served the viewer and the sharks much better. Particularly bad was the episode with the mechanical sharks and supposed the attempt to "study" the dynamics of a shark bite. It was really more of a tribute to modern FX than anything else. Over all this set is entertaining with its photographic footage of sharks but otherwise disappointing in its lack of substance.

Summary: SHARK WEEK
Comment: Yes, yes as some of the reviews have stated, this collection does focus most on the Great White, but frankly, that's the shark we are all interested in. The Great White is one of the most mysterious and by far the most feared inhabitant of the sea..he's a rock star, get real. Get this if for no other reason that to have footage of the Great White breaching in the waters off South Africa, it's just amazing footage..and yes, I had seen this series of episodes before, but really i could watch it a thousand times, it's one of the greatest phenomonens in nature..watching a animal that weighs a ton jet six feet out of the water with jaws agape is breathtaking, I dont care how jaded you are..yes, yes if you seen all this a million times on shark week maybe your not going to want this, but if you've only seen it a thousand times, i say..get it..you'll love it.."-).

Summary: Shark Week ROCKS
Comment: What shark lover can resist Discovery Channels Annual Shark Week? We all tune in to watch sharks do what sharks do. Here in this collection you get the best of the best. My favorites are Air Jaws 1 and 2, Anatomy of a Shark Bite, and Prehistoric Sharks. All the specials included in this set are entertaining and informative. Pick it up NOW!

Summary: Great but no CC
Comment: This is an informative and entertaining set. It is a shame that none of the shows have Closed Captioning or Subtitles.
