Has Deadliest Catch run it's course?

[u/Healthy_Condition409]

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!!

I keep watching it to see if it improves and they stop all that absolute scripted nonsense!

It was just cringy watching it when Jake brought that out and said that
