This series goes deeper than a surface level exploration (all the puns intended) of animal footage to the hows and whys of scientific research. You'll love this if you want more than beautiful images or a cursory overview of animal behavior and ecosystems. OceanXplorers shows the team effort that goes into advancing our collective understanding of these precious animals and environments.

It goes to show that facilitating the work of these marine biologists, divers, and tech innovators brings us novel insights into animal behavior alongside captivating footage that I'm sure will be educational for many. It was for me.

Highly recommend this series! The other reviewer complaining about the predation scenes just doesn't get it.

This series uses amazing images to tell stories about the creatures and aquatic communities under the sea. The use of graphics, holograms, clear and colorful photography, and some amazing videos gets me lost in the story. And these episodes are indeed stories. They don't just educate and expose me to environments and creatures I've never seen, they help me understand how they live and how our behavior can impact them. I also enjoy that at the end of each episode they recap what was learned in that episode.

The equipment used in these episodes is truly remarkable and creates opportunities that make even the experts sit back in awe!

There's so much incredible stuff down there that they uncover in this series. I can't wait for next season.

Highlights for me were the humpback-orca predation, the bioluminescent flashback, tagging a deep sea shark and getting a whales-eye view of what it like to be a sperm whale.

The ship is an incredible ship and is almost like its own character. The Xplorers each bring their own unique perspective to the crew and James' expert narration ties it all together nicely.

It's crazy we're all so obsessed with space exploration when there's still so much out there in the deep right here on our planet.

If you're an animal lover, you will have a very hard time watching some of this.... They focus a lot (too much for me, I had to forward past most of it) on animals killing animals .... It's understood that "everything needs to eat", however, showing the process and torturous death that one animal has to endure to feed another just goes against one of the main reasons behind this type of show : for people to fall in love with the animals and want to conserve them.... Seeing a Killer Whale hunt and kill, particularly a baby whale, in high def detail does the exact opposite for most folks. There is so much beauty in the natural world, there is no reason to be so obsessively focused on showing the cruelty- particularly if you're not going to warn your audience that some of the material you find so fascinating in your scientific detachment is actually quite upsetting.

Also had to fast forward through much of the tech stuff.... Easily half the first episode, for instance, focused on the technology.... Most viewers want to see the amazing underwater "stuff" not listen to you go on and on about the tech. I get it, it's amazing and groundbreaking, but, to focus on it for half the episode frankly gets boring.

Definitely wouldn't want young kids to see this; they'd likely be in tears. Those who can't stomach seeing the cruelty of the natural world, be warned.

Honestly came away from the first episode thinking that scientists and some nature filmmakers just have no heart with the way they talk about and get excited over a living thing getting killed in such horrible drawn out ways.

Worth watching on a platform that allows the viewer to fast forward. Would give 10 stars for the cinematography, 5 stars overall due to how the episodes are put together, and there really should be a disturbing content warning with some of what's presented.
