Hooked (National Geographic Channel)
common sense media says
Fish-centric show is more sensational than educational.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although this fish-centric educational series includes some good information, the over-hyped narration makes it clear that the show's emphasis is on the animals' deadly predatory powers and the fight between angler and fish, rather than on science (even though most of the anglers are trying to capture the fish to study them, rather than just for trophy purposes).
Positive role models:
Some of the anglers are actual scientists attempting to gather information about the fish so that they can better preserve the species.
Violence:
While there's little blood, the narration goes in heavy for fighting analogies during fishing segments. Also, the predatory powers of the various fish are heavily emphasized with violent language about killing, impaling, and the ability to rip flesh apart.
