I was, but I was quickly turned off by their tactics and better than thou attitude. ( If that's the right show)

LOL! I couldn't agree more! Not so much a better than thouh attitude but more like whiny incompetent hipster kids trying to do things way over their heads. Last night was very sad as the Japanese killed a number of whales and it was tough to watch.
Did you notice the helicopter pilot has the Imperial cog symbol on the back of his helmet?

Do you think it is appropriate for young kids (9 & 7) to watch?  The commercials seemed interesting.

It was up until last night. The killing of this one minke whale was tough for me to watch. It was awful, I actually teared up especially considering how intelligent these creatures are and they seems to know what's happening to them, they seem aware. prior to last night, it really was a show about a bunch of screw up kids on a boat with a nut job captain even Greenpeace disavow.

Because of the whale killing or the banality of the crew?

All of the above - and more.
