Discovery Channel’s Shark Week is upon us once again: here’s what there is to watch.
Moviemakers have known for years that the best entertainment is fictional, but Discovery Channel is really only just getting into the game with a Shark Week programming lineup that reads more like a list of B-movies than documentaries. Still, fans of these dangerous creatures — whether the Sharknado-style or the real thing — will find something worth watching in Discovery’s slate of shark-centric programming this week. Here’s what’s on deck (all times in Eastern):
- Sharkzilla, Monday 4PM
- Shark of Darkness: Wrath of Submarine, Monday 5PM, Sunday 8PM
- Air Jaws: Fin of Fury, Monday 7PM, Wednesday 4PM
- Great White Serial Killer, Monday 8PM, Friday 5PM
- Jaws Strikes Back, Monday 9PM, Tuesday 7PM, Friday 6PM, Saturday 4PM
- Monster Hammerhead, Monday 10PM, Tuesday 8PM, Saturday 7PM
- Adrift: 47 Days with Sharks, Tuesday 4PM
- Return of Jaws, Tuesday 5PM
- I Escaped Jaws, Tuesday 6PM, Thursday 4PM

With titles like this you should expect just as much science fiction as actual science — Discovery has taken flack in the past for using psuedoscience to boost ratings, and this year is likely to be no different — but if you’re just in Shark Week for the B-movie glory of it, this lineup has you covered.
