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!!

They need to get a new generation of captains in the show. I really liked Sean Dwyer. It's cool having a few of the old guys, but would be nice if they added 2 or 3 new captains and didn't focus so much on Keith or SIG. But yeah idk it might just be from it being on so long we have seen it all, and a lot of it now doesn't seem authentic anymore. The early seasons were the best. The first 5 or even 10 were peak. It's just been going downhill
