One of the grandest traditions in all of Discovery Channel, one of the only good reasons to actually have cable any more, is Shark Week. And seeing as we’ve just left behind another season of Shark Week, it’s always good to get caught up in case there was anything you missed. The folks out at Discovery sent out a copy of Shark Week: Restless Fury to help us get reacquainted, and if you like sharks, you’ll be all over this one.

Shark Week: Restless Fury sets us up with a variety of shark-themed programs spread over two discs, including a best-of disc with some bonus features. You’ll also get a set of individual shows featuring sharks from various angles and under various premises, including a shark filmed in ultra slow motion, a series of stories from survivors of shark attacks, and a whole sequence devoted to surviving a shark attack hosted by a former Special Forces operative. Whether you’re interested in what sharks look like or what kind of damage they can do, you’re going to be pretty well covered here…as long as you like sharks.

Basically, no matter what your particular interest in sharks, you’re almost certain to be covered here. They’ve covered the waterfront with this small selection of shark fare. Basically, if you’re looking for an introduction to Shark Week (or, parenthetically, looking to introduce someone else to Shark Week), then you’re going to have most everything you need right here to show off the full range of Shark Week phenomena. And considering that this sucker’s got two discs and a total run time of three hundred eighty seven minutes, you’ll want to have a good chunk of a week (well, okay, only about five percent of a week) available anyway to get through all of this.

And naturally, some of this will be better than other parts. But no matter what, if you’re not into sharks, you’re going to be caught somewhat flat-footed here, because that’s all this is about. They’ve even got it stamped on the front. But still, Shark Week is some of Discovery’s best stuff, and should be judged accordingly.

The Screenhead Ten Scale gives Shark Week: Restless Fury a seven out of ten for providing a great selection of Shark Week fare. Some of it is better than others, of course, but most of it will still be very much worth your time. Admittedly, you’ll have to be into sharks to enjoy it, but still–most of it is sufficiently exciting to be interesting.
