What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this environmentally themed show -- which follows naturalist Zeb Hogan as travels the world to seek out some of the world’s largest freshwater fish, some of which are endangered -- doesn't have much in the way of iffy content (mostly ocassional bleeped language and some drinking by adults). Not only does Hogan explain the life cycles of the fish, he also discusses their natural environment and how humans are changing it, sometimes for the worse. He’s knowledgeable and engaging and makes the show's fish tales interesting for viewers of all ages.
Positive role models:
Hogan is informative and interesting to watch, and he’s eager to jump into the water to get closer to the fish he so clearly loves. His enthusiasm for the environment is infectious.
Violence:
Some of the fish look pretty fearsome, and they certainly put up a fight when the fishermen are trying to haul them in.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
A few words are bleeped, but it’s infrequent.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some adult fishermen are shown drinking while they fish.
