Unfortunately the television is awful. This summer they ran a program in the squids of the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California). There were some great squid photos - but the narrative, and any real sense of science, was lost. I was ANGRY and felt betrayed. I should have known better. They are trying to cross nature documentaries and reality television. They have succeeded.
