Drain the Oceans

It would be great if you could work on Lake Champlain and Lake George they are both very big lakes and contain a lot of history under the surface

Just watched the episode The Battle of Britain. It is so inaccurate. At Dunkirk it shows a Destroyer H88, it says that the ship is HMS Wakeful, in fact this ship is HMS Havelock, which survived the the war.

It then says HMS Wakeful was bombed and sunk, again this is wrong as HMS Wakeful also survived the war. This so inaccurate, I was going to check about Narvik but lost interested in the programme. If you are going to make a documentary surely facts must be correct. The commentary is so slow and uninteresting it is so off putting. The music is too loud too, clearly not made for the UK audience.

I went on a binge of all the current "documentaries" on Disney+ recently and they are all basically unwatchable. They literally annoy you the whole way through. But you sit and deal with it for the few minutes of interesting information each episode.

I would easily pay to see these edited by a sane person. Music GONE. Repetitive narration, catchphrases GONE. Recapping what you just watched over and over GONE (and punishable by prison time).

It's like every documentary has this cookie-cutter template. I simply can't imagine anyone enjoying how they chose to edit these.

If you're up for some brutal punishment to see some interesting stuff, dive in, and have your trigger finger hovering over the fast-forward button, so you can keep skipping ahead.

...and don't forget to "Drain the Oceans"!

The concept of the show is interesting but the narration, repetition and presentation ruin what could be a very good show. Phrases like 'opened up like a can of sardines', or the endless questions such as 'What could cause this incredible damage', 'can the wreck tell us what happened' (duh - if it didn't you would have an episode) are annoying right from the start and get more annoying with every episode. I finally resorted to watching the show closed captioned so I did not have to listen to all the false drama.

The worst one is for a episode on 'Hitler's Killer Warships' when the wreck of the Hood was investigated. Somehow the producers of this show seem more intent on patting themselves on the back rather than acknowledging what is already known. In this case there are several shows that have already investigated this battle not the least of which is the James Cameron documentary (2017?). Even the movie 'Sink the Bismark' in 1960 seemed to have the facts.

I will certainly not be tempted to add National Geographic to my TV channels when the free preview expires.

It's amazing. But the narrator is often drowned out by the music. Maybe tone it down in future episodes . I don't think I can adjust my tv to separate the music from the story.
