Todos los tiburones

It is so thrilling to watch all these amazingly talented folks watch, search for and discuss sharks. I learned so much about these beautiful creatures, so maligned by society. The contestants truly love their subject. I can't wait for the second series! The photography is exceptional, I especially loved all the reef scenes, and seeing other species in their habitat. I hope this series encourages everyone to respect and support all the efforts worldwide to protect sharks, and do their own research on how important all the shark species are to the marine biosphere. I'm going to watch it again. Great job, everyone.

I'm not usually into sea life documentaries but the way this competition show educated and kept me on the edge of my seat really kept me entertained.

The fun fact side of the show educates you by telling you different facts about loads of different species of not just sharks but sea life in general. Whilst the competition side of the show keeps you on the edge of your seat when you see 4 pairs of divers compete by trying to photograph as many different types of sharks as possible. But they can't just photograph some sharks, they have to photograph all the sharks because the rarer the shark the more points it scores.

To make the show more interesting the competitors travel through 6 exotic locations which look gorgeous and face not just sharks, but also strong currents and equipment mishaps that really push them to their limit. And whoever is leading by the time they leave each location wins a mini prize which is nice to see because some Netflix shows only give out a big prize at the end but hardly anything along the way.

So overall I really enjoyed seeing this unique show and hope they make a new series soon, because I can't wait for a second bite.

Imagine if Amazing Race, Pokémon Go, and Blue Planet were mixed together and given a Netflix touch. That is All the Sharks. It's fun, educational, conservation forward without being in your face, visually stunning, and keeps my attention.

Four teams of shark experts compete for $50 grand toward their charity and the trip of a lifetime. They gain points by photographing sharks, with higher point values assigned to those that are harder to grab a snap. They are led by a fun host who feels like the kind of guy you want to sit and talk with for hours. There isn't hair pull drama, exaggeration or demonization of the animals as the challenges from a naturally occurring competition are plenty! Strong currents, flooded housings, missed pictures, interfering fishermen, and a little luck all play parts.

While the show is a competition at heart there is a lot of education snuck in. Being in the subclass elasmobranchii (cartilaginous fish with 5-7 gill openings) rays get love too! One of the contestants is a marine biologist who specializes in rays and is heard a couple times saying "flat sharks are sharks too." The love of the animals coming from every contestant is so apparent and their excitement is infectious. The infographics make sure to point out the conservation status and the number of sharks who are endangered is heartbreaking.

Friends that were afraid of sharks found themselves cheering for sightings and it made me want to dust off my scuba gear and go hop in for a dive!

I loved watching this. I admire every one of the contestants plus the staff that was around to help them out. The underwater shots were incredible, so much so that I thought half of them were AI. I think I learned a lot about sharks and marine life in general, plus I saw some of the best spots on earth.

It was great for a change to see people being around sharks without being terrified, they really made it look easy! Which I'm sure is not.

The one thing I absolutely hated was all the effort to make it dramatic by adding super loud war drums music at random times.

Once more, congrats to all involved!

As a biologist with a background working directly with sharks, I typically approach wildlife documentaries with a healthy dose of skepticism. Having witnessed firsthand the sensationalism that often permeates programming like "Shark Week" - sometimes even inadvertently contributing to it - I'm all too familiar with the tendency to craft artificial narratives that misrepresent these incredible animals.

There's so much inherent fascination in the true lives of sharks that there's simply no need to resort to "Jaws" reenactments or fabricated stories to captivate an audience.

That's why this series was such a revelation for me. What truly sets it apart is its unique approach: it's genuinely entertaining, remarkably educational, and, most importantly, deeply respectful of the animals it showcases. Unlike so many reality or documentary-style shows, there's no need for dramatic wrestling matches or forced captures. The series understands that the inherent wonder of these creatures is more than enough.

While I wholeheartedly give this series a 10/10, I do have a couple of minor suggestions. A touch less scripting, perhaps taking audio from longer interviews, could allow for more natural, concise narratives. Similarly, during underwater segments, it would be beneficial to either remove the artificial talking while diving, or clearly indicate when voice-overs are being used.

Despite these small points, I am genuinely thrilled to see a new format emerge that successfully engages a wide audience while maintaining such a profound respect for wildlife. To whoever conceived of this "Pokémon-esque" approach to sharks - thank you. Your creativity and persistence in bringing this series to life and securing its place on Netflix have truly paid off. This is a game-changer for how we can learn about and appreciate the natural world. Your impact will be felt in the industry, and you should deserve an award for that alone. You're brilliant.

I encourage everyone, whether you're a seasoned wildlife enthusiast or just curious about the ocean's wonders, or just someone looking for a TV show they're unfamiliar with, to give this show a watch. And to the entire team who worked on this series - from the concept creators to the camera crews and editors - your dedication shines through, and it is deeply appreciated.
