Spoilers ahead for the "Cocaine Sharks" special of Shark Week 2023 on Discovery.
Discovery is celebrating the 35th anniversary of Shark Week in the 2023 TV schedule with everything from a harrowing great white encounter that felt straight out of a film to some cameos from the orcas who are decimating the shark population in South Africa. "Cocaine Sharks" involved an investigation into the reports of cocaine bales being dumped into shark-infested waters off of Florida, which involved dropping some "shark cocaine" into the ocean. Shark behaviorist Tom "The Blowfish" Hird was down in the water for the special, and he opened up to CinemaBlend about the experiment and experience.
