Nuestros océanos

I love nature documentaries and was so looking forward to this series. Although the imagery is stunning, the narration was so painful and hard to get through. Obama constantly pauses and his cadence is just so slow and even sometimes sounds "goofy" for a lack of a better word. I would have given anything for Attenborough or Freeman to have narrated. In fact, in order for me to make it tolerable, I changed the audio to a Spanish speaking narrator with English subtitles and continued the series. Much better this way.

Other than that, the footage is fantastic and wonderfully educational which I really appreciate.

I disagree with the people who criticize Barack Obama as narrator. We all need to know these facts about pollution. There is much that is positive but the alarming part must be included.

I thought he was engaged and interesting.

I found the photography absolutely astounding and I learned so much that I didn't know. It left me filled with wonder and awe. I was impressed that we have so much underwater, close-up footage. I learned about fish I never knew existed. And, the adaptive behaviors are fascinating.

It was well put together, narrated, and produced., I wouldn't change a thing. A great watch!

The content of this show is exceptional, matching the standards set by the best nature documentaries. The visuals are stunning, the colors vivid, and a lot of rare scenes captured with exceptional sharpness.

There's some footage shot with the camera apparently attached to the marine wildlife itself, which is an interesting and uncommon technique for mainstream documentaries.

The biggest letdown is the voice narration. This is the first documentary narrated by Barack Obama that I've watched, and I was not impressed. As a public orator giving political speeches, he's obviously very effective and inspirational. But his delivery of this show's narration felt dispassionate. It fails to convey the wonder & magic of the content, and makes the overall experience quite flat.

I have run into this series when I was scouring the net looking for a documentary series to watch, as most of movies and TV series are just rife and riddled with wanton violence, gore and sick sex. The cinematography in this series is just gorgeous, the amount of data conveyed to the viewers is great. The camerawork is amazingly close to the actions and breathtakingly display behavior of the sea creatures. However, it is lamentably lacking is a good narrator. The stunning filmography could have been supplemented and actually become perfect with a soothing velvety voice over. The legend, Sir. David Attenborough could have added that amazing quality to this series.

The filming, the visuals and the amazing animals is all A+, but the lack of dramatic and "pull you in" narration is something to be desired. Someone with a more commanding and attention grabbing voice is needed to make this an all around outstanding series. The current narration is quite boring, but the visual excellence will keep you watching.... I definitely recommend watching, it is really good. Unfortunately, the narration is a 2 star attempt and really drives home how much Attenbrough is missed. Maybe they can somehow get Morgan Freeman to do a new voice narration and bring this from a 6 star production to a 10 star docuseries..
