All the Sharks Review 2025 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
Host Tom “The Blowfish” Hird, a self-proclaimed “heavy-metal marine biologist” with a long, braided beard to boot, welcomes the four groups on the beach of Fuvahmulah. The Maldives island, colloquially known as Shark Island, appears a sunny, idyllic, not-at-all-shark-infested paradise. Hird then announces that over 30 species of sharks lurk just beyond the shore, explaining its namesake.
Teams must decide to focus on quality or quantity of sharks photographed in each dive. Rarer sharks found in deeper waters earn more points, while more common sharks earn less. Wildlife biologist Randy and ecologist Rosie of the Land Sharks decide to start deep, following cleaning wrasse around reefs in pursuit of the rare Thresher shark, which earns a whopping 75 points. Gills Gone Wild’s MJ, a spearfisher and shark diver, and Aliah, a marine biologist with a stingray specialty, had the same idea, braving rough waters and a strong current in one of the deepest areas offshore. Other teams, including the Shark Docs, marine biologists Brendan and Chris, take the opposite approach, starting shallow to rack up points with more common sharks. The Great British Bait Off, the only non-scientist team made up of underwater cameraman Dan and environmental journalist Sarah, who’d been bitten by a shark in the past, travel to the other side of the island. They want the best of both worlds, searching for a reef drop off with both shallow and deep water potential.
You can tell how much the experts live for this. “Personally, I just want to see some sharks right now,” Chris said of why he wanted to start in Tiger Harbour, despite the low point potential tiger sharks offered. The area hosts over 200 of the predators, the densest population on the planet. In another iconic moment, Dan says to Sarah, “Uhhh… Sarah, look around. We’re surrounded by tiger [sharks].” Any normal human’s stomach would drop upon hearing that, but Sarah responds excitedly, “Sounds like points!”
Although I love ocean documentaries and competitive reality TV, my expectations for All the Sharks were low. I didn’t expect the two genres to mesh well. Plus, a show where the only contest is who can take the most photos seemed like a deeply boring premise. However, unlike the sharks featured in the show, I’m hooked. The preview for the rest of the season left me hungry for more, teasing dangerous locations, shark frenzies and looming eliminations.
