I liked that program for a while but the more I watched it and studied the different camera angles, especially those underwater scenes designed to add drama, I've come to the conclusion that most of it is just that, hollywood created drama.
For the most part I don’t think the need to “create drama” exists when people are catching alligators pretty much by hand LOL. That being said, I had noticed the addition of underwater camera shots which I find somewhat distracting although it seems to be done to add some suspense. Meh - I don’t think the show benefits by it.
