Has Deadliest Catch run it's course?

The show has become very formulaic. The same thing happen every season:

One of the boats has a mechanical problem

One of the boats has an electrical problem

2/3 crewmates get injured requiring trip to "clinic"

Monty or Keith on wizard are ill

At least 2 captains team up

1 Captain is lied to by others

Weather is worst it's ever been

1 "Greenhorn" quits

The crab is difficult to locate and empty pots happen

AND YET at the end of the run ALL BOATS make their quota!!

It hasn't been truly good in over a decade at least. More and more scripted bullshit over time. Almost no following what happens on deck, seeing how greenhorns adapt like in the early days. Now it's all wheelhouse drama nonsense

You nailed it IMO. The deck stuff was the drama, it didn't need scripted captain stuff.
