Head Above Water

Most annoying voice over I've ever heard, making it unwatchable.

Really interesting and when you find out how little these guys get paid for the work they do it's amazing. I will be interested to see how Simpson goes at the trial and hope he does well. Only issue is Bronte Campbells voice drives me bananas.... Don't know what it is because she is so smart and articulate but her voice makes me want to put her on mute.

No pun intended - another example of me coming up with my summary line on the spot. For better or worse. The documentary series took way more time in preparing their efforts and their interviews and the how they structured the whole thing. Since this revolves around four athletes - how much time everyone is going to get, when and where and all that jazz ... or swimming if you prefer.

Australia does have a lot of beaches - I may not be good in Geography but even I know that an island has that going for it. So the cliche of swimming before walking could kind of be true in this case (is also being picked up and addressed here). You have to love the topic I reckon and if you do, you will have a good time. The 4 episodes are rather short (around 40 minutes), so you can binge this quite fast.

Good interviews and well edited - with some interesting insights and fun stories. Also not connected in any way with the Harvey Keitel/C. Diaz movie of the same name. Just saying.
