3.0 out of 5 stars Good show, but not the best stream., February 2, 2011

This review is from: Shark Week 2009 Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
This was a show from Shark Week Vol 4, Sharkbite Summer, which discussed the shark attacks and media responses in 2001. The show was exciting, and the interviews and anecdotal information was quite dramatic. The show focuses much more on the attacks rather than on the sharks, so information about the sharks, the bull shark, black tip and tiger shark is sketchy at best. Other than the majority of these particular attacks seem to come from bull sharks, not much about the shark behavior is focused. The show was more interested in highlighting the media's own shark feeding frenzy, sensationalizing the attacks and ramping up the volume, making it look as if this was an uncommonly violent shark season. (It wasn't. There were three less reported shark attacks than the previous year.) And if the sharks were out to get us. (They aren't.) The show does highlight how this was unhelpful, and distracted from the truth of these incidents and minimize the heroism and courage of the victims and rescuers.

The lower rating isn't from the content of the video but the quality of the streaming from Amazon. About every three minutes or so, the video was interrupted by data transfer. I had to wait several seconds before I could get back to what I was watching. Most of the time that's annoying but when you're watching something as dramatic as shark attacks, that's really damn annoying. Netflix still has you beat on streaming vid, guys.
