Summer is an amazing season to watch shows focused on sharks. The Shark Week, developed by Tom Golden, is a Discovery Channel entertainment series that features all types of shark-related shows. This is generally an annual affair in July or early August that lasts for an entire week. Shark Week, originally launched on 17 July 1988, was designed to educate people regarding sharks and preserve beautiful animals. These shows struck a human chord and ultimately massively watched the channel.
The programming anniversary of ‘Shark Week’ 2021 is the thirty-third year. The event is linked to different celebrities annually. This year, among the celebs we are seeing in the forthcoming ‘ Shark Week’ include Tiffany Haddish, William Shatner, Brad Paisley, Noah Schnapp, Eric Bana, and Snoop Dogg.

History of Shark Week
Shark Week originally appeared in July 1988, with Caged in Fear as the inaugural show. 10 episodes have been broadcast with other shows: Predators or Prey, The Shark Siesta, and Different Sharks color Discovery chose to continue because of the content’s success.
In 2000, the Discovery Channel broadcast Shark Week Uncaged, which was hosted by Nigel Marven, a prominent biologist. In an episode showing an endangered gigantic shark with 3D parts, 6 million 3D Pulfrich lenses were delivered to spectators in the United States and Canada.
Notable figures from past Discovery programs presented the program. In 2005, the two-hour MythBuster “Special Jaws” premiere was presented in Shark Week by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of MythBusters. In 2006, Shark Week welcomed Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs and two episodes of Dirty Jobs were created, entitled “Jobs that Bite” as well as “Jobs that Bite…Harder.” In the same year, the Discovery Network’s Silver Spring, the Maryland center, hung a white shark known as Chompie, which was 446 feet long (136 meters). In 2007, Discovery Channel presented Les Stroud, survivor host, the 20th Anniversary of Shark Week.
Criticism Faced by the Show
Ever since its commencement, Shark Week has become more enjoyable and occasionally fictitious. By the 2010s it caught a lot of criticism because dramatic shows were broadcast to make the public more popular. This fake show has been made in recent years, labeled as docufiction. The Monster Shark Lives, Shark of Darkness: Monster Hammerhead, Lair of Mega Shark, and Megalodon: The New Evidence include examples from such programs.
The Monsters Shark Lives, since it was one of the more viewed programs in the course of Shark Week mainly in the context of controversy and backlashes, were effective in this technique, particularly for the Megalodon show. The mockumentary was made on a long-term extinct, old gigantic Shark known as megalodon. The broadcast of this show has fuelled criticism from science blogging specialists as well as bloggers of scientific awareness, such as actor Wil Wheaton, and has led to the boycotting of the network.
Ever since, Discovery has become progressively inflamed by junk research, questionable hypotheses, false tales, and misleading academics over the content of the program. At the beginning of 2015, Discovery President Rich Ross committed to excluding such material from future Shark Week selections. During 2017 the Discovery network extensively advertised a competition among Olympic gold medal champion Michael Phelps and a big computer-generated white shark.
Shows Related to Sharks
Ghost Shark
‘Ghost Shark’ must be the worst of all shark series, but this is exactly why it’s so fun. The narrative depicts a father and his daughter who cruelly kills a shark, but the shark’s spirit comes back to search for retribution. The narrative has a fun vibe and some of the moments are so scandalously awful that certain entertainment worth begins to grow.
Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus
The story follows two prehistoric marine animals who had been killed destructively. The hacks almost seem comical and, anywhere at a cinematic level, lack of thinking and gravity contributes to the movie’s casual appeal. Some sequences are superior to average and on a technical level are very remarkable.
Sharknado
The film ends up coming out as highly entertaining, despite a widely spanning and stupid narrative. It’s nearly like having fun with the audience, and while such an aim can frequently fire, the movie receives the best.
Shark Tale
Shark Tale’ is a digitally animated comedy-drama film telling the narrative of Oscar, a tiny, fast speaking fish who claims that he killed a huge monster shark and became a hero. Shark Tale’ is a faulty film, but it’s a wonderful trip with all the satire of the godfather with some really sweet parts.
Deep Blue Sea
“Deep Blue Sea” is a film not for its idea and aim, but because it’s unbelievably stupid and naive it was. The visuals are scandalously poor and the sadness of this narrative is funnier.
Soul Surfer
It is mostly a biographical story of Soul Surfer rather than just a shark film. It depicts the narrative of a lady, a surfer who survived a violent shark attack, loses one arm and attempts to face the obstacles, and gets back on top. Although the tale is very heartbreaking and inspirational, it’s a conventional Hollywood production and not so high in the grade to be a really big biographical drama.
Bait 3D
A 3-D shark film may be pretty fascinating to see, and “bait” was truly unforgettable. The movie is about a group of individuals stranded in a flooded grocery shop during a catastrophic tsunami. But, as a bunch of white sharks follow them, they still face the hardest and they have to battle against the monster animals. It’s rather a cursory genre, and although the writing problems are clear, it works well in certain quite well-done sequences, lifting the picture from being quite poor, and in addition, it’s extremely successful in its 3 D component since I captures beautifully the terror of the narrative.
Jaws 2
The movie is just the same as Chief Brody, after some strange disappearances, believes that a big white shark is prowling about on the Island. Jeannot Szwarc’s directing is no longer close to Steven Spielberg’s technical ability, but it takes control of the tale and forcefully delivers it, if at times a little messy. It’s a really exciting drama that engages you just like very few movies and is considered one of the finest sequences of the series recently.
The Shallows
This absorbing thriller is about a lady who, mourning the loss of her mother, meets a large white shark while traveling to a remote beach, and has to struggle her way away. Blake Lively is great as Nancy Adams and performs powerfully in a mentally and psychologically difficult part. The energizing direction of Jaume Collet-Serra enhances the raw intensity and the sequences of shark assault are wonderfully captured, and you can’t describe it in any way.
The Reef
After the boat has sunk because a great white shark pursues the group, it sinks into the ocean. The video is based on an accurate account of a guy who endured a similar tragedy in 1983 and incorporates factual shark footage in contrast to special elements of computer graphics. It is wonderfully directed and each shot is very intense that lets you breathe away. The film is much scarier to believe that the sharks shown in the film are genuine.
Open Water
‘Open Water’ is followed by a couple who go diving but unintentionally remain behind the team in the middle of the shark seas. The movie has a visceral aspect which makes it an encounter, nearly physical, as it gradually crawls under your skin. The film makes the atmosphere express the tragedy of history without the overwhelming attention on the storyline. The intensity is wonderfully contained. The sharks’ moments are incredibly nerve-racking since they feel extraordinarily realistic and are very unforgettable.
Jaws
‘Jaws’ involves 3 men: the police chief, a sailor, and a fisherman who took a big shark after wrecking lives on a tranquil island. The film takes you first from the beginning with the curious, lurking sensation of dread, as we learn the lives of people and the island’s peaceful nature shortly after being crushed by a monster. The film takes you to the top of it. Spielberg made better pictures with greater vision and a deeper perspective, but Jaws’s technical talents as a movie director remain a testimony.
