Aussies Furious Over New SHARK! Reality Show

Fans have taken to social media to slam Channel Nine over their upcoming new reality series Shark! 

The show sees the likes of The Block's Scott Cam, influencer , and former Lynne McGranger go head-to-head with predators of the deep.

But angry critics have deemed the format 'disgraceful' and 'distasteful' in the wake of recent fatal shark attacks in Australia.

'Watching the ads on Channel Nine for the new shark show airing soon,' began one viewer on . 

'Does anyone else find this a bit inappropriate due to the recent record number of attacks?

'I can’t see the point of the show at all, and all I can think of is the victims' families. Very distasteful and disrespectful, Channel Nine, just saying.'

'Depends on what the show is representing,' another person added on the thread.

'I hope it is educating people about sharks and how to avoid the possibility of a shark attack. We are sharing this earth and need to educate and respect that!'

A third person commented: 'Yes, as soon as I saw it, I thought it was disgraceful.'

However, several others in the Facebook group appeared to support the show, with one person posting: 'There have been multiple shark shows for years.

'Good and bad. The best way to avoid being upset and [being] triggered by it, would be to choose not to watch it.'

Added another person: 'Dear Lord, get a grip! Should we stop showing shows that [show] all kinds of accidents?' 

The dramatic new reality series, filmed in the Bahamas, is co-helmed by Paul de Gelder, who lost a hand and a foot in a shark attack in 2009.

He co-hosts the show with expert Annie Guttridge.
