Our Oceans

I do not agree with the criticism that Obama's narration is boring. I loved his narration. The knowledge of the production is amazing and the photography is astounding. In addition I truly enjoyed the music. I would highly recommend this series. My only criticism is the anthropomorphic references.

My daughter and I watched this together and looked up some oceanic details while watching. We only watched one or two at a time but still an enjoyable series.

I do not have a lot more to say except that I did learn a lot and appreciate our oceans and the amazing creatures who live there even more so than before.

The visuals are stunning, many never seen before. I laud Obama for his support and voiceover. Even more appreciation goes to the people who designed these underwater equipments. Lastly, the highest level of appreciation for people on the ground. The overall effort and outcome is superhuman, I'm amazed sitting at home and watching it on netflix as to how this coverage is humanly possible, special appreciation to the southern ocean episode. A must watch for everyone, to induce a sense of self righteousness to preserve our oceans & environment and keep it clean. Earth is too magnificent to destroy for temporary joy/ gains.

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....

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.

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..
