Deadliest Catch
Created by Thom Beers
On Discovery
A long-running documentary series that sustains genuine danger and mortality stakes across 384 episodes by returning to the same crews and the same lethal environment week after week.
Forty-foot waves, 700 pound crab pots, freezing temperatures and your mortality staring you in the face…it's all in a day's work for these modern day prospectors. During each episode we will watch crews race to meet their quota and make it home safely.
