The 7 Best And 7 Worst Episodes Of Deadliest Catch

Christmas is the most wonderful time of year, and the same can easily be said for the Season 11 festive special "Hells Bells," which clocks in as one of the top-rated episodes of "Deadliest Catch" on IMDb. This time, the threats don't just come from the deadly fishing environment but also the crew themselves, as an "unhinged" deckhand is set on terrorizing the rest of the Time Bandit. It's an interesting direction for the show to head in, given that the crews vary from being thick as thieves to having noticeable feuds. The drama ramps up a notch when Jake's plans for his daughter's birth go awry.

Typically the fishermen keep their cool, but it's entertaining to see them gradually lose it as more and more problems pile up inside the boats. Fans have speculated if the episode hints at Matt being in trouble, since he's previously had issues trying to stay clean. There's also a gruesome injury that interrupts the greenhorn season, adding to the layers of problems that are continuing to pile up. As far as quality drama goes, we don't know where to look first, which makes for a particularly delicious episode.
