What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although its content is mostly family-friendly, this nature series is geared toward teens and adults whose attention spans can handle wading through many uneventful minutes of unsuccessful fishing before the expected exciting conclusion. Star/host Jakub Vagner uses his travels to raise awareness of diverse aquatic species, so the show lends itself nicely to family discussions about conservation and global responsibility. Occasional strong language ("f--k," for instance) is bleeped, but there are many instances of nonsexual nudity during Vagner's travels into remote corners of the world.
Positive role models:
Vagner is an avid conservationist, and his travels allow him to raise awareness of the world's diversity and the plight of its endangered inhabitants. His interactions with indigenous people show his respect for their local customs, and he's always concerned with the well-being of the fish he catches and releases.
Violence:
Some of Vagner's tactics look painful for the fish he catches, but he always has their well-being at heart and, in some cases, risks his own life to rescue a fish in danger.
Sex:
The show is filmed on location in remote areas around the globe, and local customs often mean residents are shown in little or no clothing. Male genitalia, buttocks, and female breasts are visible in some episodes.
Language:
Occasional use of words like "f--k" is bleeped.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
