Forget ‘Deadliest Catch’ and ‘Wicked Tuna’ — This New Discovery+ Show Is the Grittiest One Yet

For two decades, Deadliest Catch has been Discovery Channel's pride and joy. The series, which recently celebrated Season 20, has given viewers an absolute adrenaline rush while capturing the high-stakes world of crabbing in the Bering Sea. With colorful characters that have guided viewers along the way, Deadliest Catch has been spun off and replicated numerous times. On National Geographic Channel, Wicked Tuna was the network's answer to Deadliest Catch. Within 13 seasons, the series takes viewers on a tour of Gloucester, Massachusetts as commercial fishermen battle it out for the best Atlantic bluefin tuna. Could any other show race to capture their television glory?
