It do be like the Deadliest Catch - Alaskan King Crab fishermen going out into one of the most dangerous oceans you can fish in - The Bearing Sea and just fishing, over and over and over and
The problems, are the same every day. Dangerous ocean, and fighting the elements, not enough time. Every day is a struggle, not enough fish, terrible people, crew has trouble. Every episode is approximately the same. Problems with the the skipper, quota. Need less, need more fish. Pots come up empty.
There is a Sisyphus-like struggle to fishing, and the problems that often get built up as being issues in the crews mind, often just kinda dissolve. Some do not; but often they end up nonexistent. The episodes and seasons blends into each other. You can start in one season and generally the characters are the same. Surviving.
Pretty much covers all the major narrative conflict types: man vs nature, man vs man, man vs self, man vs society. Low key one of the best depictions of life in a reality TV format. Big fan. 4 replies
