Shark Whisperer OTT Release Date: When and where to watch marine documentary centered around Ocean Ramsey
Shark Whisperer OTT Release Date: In the vast expanse of the ocean, where myths and fears about sharks have long prevailed, one woman dares to challenge the narrative. Ocean Ramsey, a marine conservationist and social media sensation, takes centre stage in the upcoming documentary Shark Whisperer. Set to premiere globally on June 30, 2025, this compelling film will be streaming on Netflix.
Diving into the depths: The story of Ocean Ramsey
Shark Whisperer offers a close look into the life and mission of Ocean Ramsey, a woman who has impressed the world with her fearless, cage-free dives alongside some of the ocean's most formidable predators. Raised in Hawaii, Ramsey's connection to the sea was nurtured from a young age. Initially pursuing veterinary science, she eventually shifted her focus to marine biology, co-founding One Ocean Diving to further her conservation efforts.
Ramsey's approach is as controversial as it is interesting. Her viral videos, showcasing close encounters with sharks, have sparked both admiration and criticism. Supporters laud her for humanising these often-misunderstood creatures, while detractors question the ethics and safety of her methods. The documentary touches on these debates, presenting a balanced exploration of her work and its impact on public perception.
Behind the camera
The documentary is helmed by a trio of directors: James Reed, known for the Oscar-winning My Octopus Teacher; J.P. Stiles; and Harrison Macks. Shark Whisperer features insights from marine biologists, indigenous knowledge holders, and fellow conservationists, offering a multifaceted view of the challenges facing marine ecosystems today.
One striking statistic highlighted in the documentary is the alarming rate at which humans are impacting shark populations: approximately 100 million sharks are killed annually, compared to fewer than ten human fatalities from shark attacks each year. This stark contrast underscores the urgency of Ramsey's mission and the broader call to reevaluate our relationship with these apex predators.

Thug Life Twitter Reviews: Is Kamal Haasan and STR's gangster actioner worth a watch? Read 13 tweets to know
Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR, and Trisha Krishnan-starrer Tamil action thriller Thug Life hit the big screens on June 5, 2025. The film had been highly hyped and had generated decent pre-sales in Tamil Nadu and other states ahead of its release. The first-day, first-show screenings of Thug Life have already begun in some places, and soon enough, social media will be filled with reviews left behind by audiences who have watched it. Thug Life Twitter reviews To begin with, it seems Thug Life has had an average impact on viewers, who have felt that the theme and storyline of the Mani Ratnam directorial were overused and quite stereotypical. Some viewers have criticized the screenplay of the film, finding it lagging and boring, and attributing this to the flat narration, which they believe has impacted the quality of the performances put up by the talented actors. Speaking of individual performances, viewers have mixed opinions about that, as expressed by Kamal Haasan himself. Netizens have noted a lack of emotion in his stint, which contributes to the film's overall lacklustre nature. But on the contrary, many have also appreciated the senior actor's stint on-screen, which has simply lived up to the aura and charisma he possesses in real life. On the other hand, Silambarasan TR and Trisha Krishnan's execution of their roles has been categorized as gritty and intense in itself, which improves the viewing experience in some places. The musical score by AR Rahman and the stylish cinematography by Mani Ratnam have earned considerable appreciation. Audiences have found the duo's collaboration to be up to expectations and something that justifies the hype. More about Thug Life Thug Life marks the reunion of Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan, nearly 38 years after their film Nayakan. The film has made decent pre-sales in both Tamil Nadu and the rest of the states. Following its theatrical run, The Thug Life will be streaming on Netflix, as announced by the streaming giant.

MobLand review: Tom Hardy grunts his way through Guy Ritchie's soapy homage to The Godfather
Wholly unoriginal yet embarrassingly addictive, MobLand can best be described as a soap opera for boys. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the gangster drama (briefly) unseated Taylor Sheridan's blockbusters off the viewership charts — Sheridan has built a literal empire on the back of expensive sagas aimed at men, like Yellowstone. MobLand combines his signature brand of family drama with gruff machismo of a Bollywood potboiler; it's an experience so Ajay Devgn-coded that Tom Hardy's protagonist could have just as easily been introduced with a packet of Vimal in his hands, and we'd have been none the wiser. He may as well be chewing 'elaichi' in his scenes, going by his line delivery. Hardy can be magnificently theatrical when he wants — 'let's not stand on ceremony here!' — but he's made a name for himself as one of the great mumblers of his generation. That's exactly what he does as Harry Da Souza in MobLand. Harry is a fixer of sorts, torn between his two families — the real one, with wife Jan and teenage daughter Gina; and the one that he has been adopted into, the Harrigans. Like Tom Hagen from The Godfather, Harry is the brain and brawn behind the Harrigans' criminal empire, led by the psychotic patriarch Conrad, played by Pierce Brosnan. Also read – Havoc movie review: Tom Hardy unleashes a tornado of violence in Netflix's blood-drenched action-thriller But his duties mainly involve cleaning up messes, negotiating deals, and tracking down those who wish to remain hidden. Harry has connections all over the (under)world; he's the sort of guy you deploy when a body needs to be buried or an asset rescued. When Conrad's maniacal grandson, Eddie, murders his sworn enemy Richie Stevenson's grandson, the long-held tensions between the two clans escalate to the brink of war. It's like when Don Corleone's enemies had Sunny murdered. But Conrad isn't the sort of man who'd call for a meeting of the five families to resolve differences; the term 'proportional response' perhaps doesn't exist in his book. Harry, however, does the responsible thing by trying to broker peace between the two families, mainly to save them from themselves. He knows that neither Conrad nor Ritchie is the sort of person who can be talked down from a ledge. To make matters worse, he knows that Conrad's strings are secretly being pulled by his wife, Maeve, played by Helen Mirren in a performance so over-the-top that she might just be auditioning for a Sanjay Gupta movie. This makes for an uneven viewing experience; while some performances are cartoonishly camp, Hardy is objectively catatonic. It's as if he exists in a different world entirely. Written by Ronan Bennett and Jez Butterworth, MobLand opens with a two-episode premiere directed by Guy Ritchie. Neither episode has Ritchie's trademark kinetic camerawork, or even his lyrical lingo. He's a gun for hire here, creatively hands-off to the point that he probably didn't weigh in on the wardrobe. But MobLand works on a very basic level; the characters and storylines are familiar enough for major pacing issues to be overlooked. It isn't exactly ambient TV, but it's certainly not the kind of show that requires undivided attention. The writing is often clumsy; a key moment hinges entirely on a deus ex machina so illogical that you could be forgiven for assuming that the episode was written by Hussain Dalal. Harry has a solution for virtually every problem, including those that haven't yet presented themselves. It makes you wonder why someone with his skillset isn't running his own operation. Even if he can't be a crime kingpin himself — Conrad would kill him for the betrayal — he could, at least, avoid playing the role of a glorified gofer. Midway through the season, Harry is sent all the way to Belgium to rescue Conrad's two grown kids; they're both like Fredo, desperate to impress dad but utterly incapable of it. Read more – Fountain of Youth movie review: We never got a third National Treasure movie, and thanks to Guy Ritchie, we still haven't Much of the action, however, unfolds in London. After an unexpected mid-season plot development, everybody is summoned to hunker down in the Harrigans' summer estate in the Cotswolds. Cooped up under one roof, the family drama takes centerstage. Maeve even cooks up a storm for her beloved Eddie, like Clemenza did in The Godfather. Harry's wife Jan, on the other hand, contemplates leaving him. In one scene, she looks forlornly at her husband flying away on a dangerous mission, and sighs to herself about not finding any of this sexy anymore. Unfortunately, this is the general impression that you're likely to have of the show itself. It's so derivative of past gangster classics that it comes across as positively lazy. It may well be. There isn't a shred of doubt, for instance, that it was birthed as a Yellowstone clone — MobLand isn't fully algorithmic like most of the stuff you'd find on Netflix, but barring the performances, there's little to recommend about it.
