Reviews

Jackass Shark Week received a mixed but generally positive reception from audiences familiar with the Jackass franchise. On Rotten Tomatoes, the special currently holds a moderate approval rating, reflecting viewers’ appreciation for the show’s signature humor and stunt execution, while also noting its niche appeal primarily to fans of extreme reality TV. IMDb users rate the special around 6.5/10, highlighting Johnny Knoxville's charisma and the crew's chemistry as key strengths. Critics from outlets like The AV Club pointed out that while the special offers entertaining moments and impressive daredevil stunts, it doesn't deliver much in terms of educational content about sharks, which some viewers expected. The stunt-heavy format and edgy humor continue to divide viewers; those seeking thrilling escapades enjoyed the adrenaline rush, whereas others critiqued it for lacking depth and overreliance on shock value. Overall, Jackass Shark Week is praised for its audacity and entertainment factor but is acknowledged as a polarizing viewing experience due to its extreme nature and genre-specific appeal.
