Our Oceans

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..

From the unparalleled footage, to the fun and entertaining voiceover from Barack, from the urgent message he conveys to all of us, to the marvellous score, every single element from this docu series is simply fantastic! The revolutionary recording techniques and the exclusive and first ever filmed scenes make it even more precious.

Kudos to Michelle and Barack for producing such a masterpiece. I've never seen such an enchanting and at the same time gripping and urgent docu series about nature before.

I watched it all in one sit, just couldn't and wouldn't even take a break.

Not only should everybody watch it, everybody should live up to the message we're given. It's the eleventh hour....

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!

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.

The filmography in "Our Oceans" is downright stunning!! . Absolutely breathtaking shots, though some of it looks like it was combined with artificial intelligence at times. It is sometimes hard to tell what is real and what is not, but overall absolutely amazing. I'm in awe that people and cameras are able to get that close enough. And speaking of cameras- they must have cost a fortune!! I've never seen anything with images that clear!

My biggest issue with this documentary is the narrator. Barack Obama is boring, and the inflections in his voice are all wrong. Was David Attenborough busy on another project? Obama really kinda ruined this film.
