Bravo’s high-seas adventure series Below Deck has become one of the most successful reality TV franchises with super yachts cruising on the Baltic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean seas, but lately, the show has been going downhill, evident through low ratings. Below Deck is watchable and enjoyable for every single person. There is also the mystification over the appeal of Gary King, a First Mate who has a spirited temperament and a flirtatious charm, which makes him a loveable character. Below Deck and its spin-offs, have presented an escapism aspect to the series, keeping many hooked.
