OceanXplorers

If you're an animal lover, you will have a very hard time watching some of this.... They focus a lot (too much for me, I had to forward past most of it) on animals killing animals .... It's understood that "everything needs to eat", however, showing the process and torturous death that one animal has to endure to feed another just goes against one of the main reasons behind this type of show : for people to fall in love with the animals and want to conserve them.... Seeing a Killer Whale hunt and kill, particularly a baby whale, in high def detail does the exact opposite for most folks. There is so much beauty in the natural world, there is no reason to be so obsessively focused on showing the cruelty- particularly if you're not going to warn your audience that some of the material you find so fascinating in your scientific detachment is actually quite upsetting.

Also had to fast forward through much of the tech stuff.... Easily half the first episode, for instance, focused on the technology.... Most viewers want to see the amazing underwater "stuff" not listen to you go on and on about the tech. I get it, it's amazing and groundbreaking, but, to focus on it for half the episode frankly gets boring.

Definitely wouldn't want young kids to see this; they'd likely be in tears. Those who can't stomach seeing the cruelty of the natural world, be warned.

Honestly came away from the first episode thinking that scientists and some nature filmmakers just have no heart with the way they talk about and get excited over a living thing getting killed in such horrible drawn out ways.

Worth watching on a platform that allows the viewer to fast forward. Would give 10 stars for the cinematography, 5 stars overall due to how the episodes are put together, and there really should be a disturbing content warning with some of what's presented.

To the explorers, stay safe and keep exploring.

There's so much incredible stuff down there that they uncover in this series. I can't wait for next season.

Highlights for me were the humpback-orca predation, the bioluminescent flashback, tagging a deep sea shark and getting a whales-eye view of what it like to be a sperm whale.

The ship is an incredible ship and is almost like its own character. The Xplorers each bring their own unique perspective to the crew and James' expert narration ties it all together nicely.

It's crazy we're all so obsessed with space exploration when there's still so much out there in the deep right here on our planet.

I am petrified of going into the ocean so this show gives me a view of things I'll never see personally. I love how it can feel like you are right there with everyone. I am intrigued by people who are willing to explore the depths of the ocean and enjoy the cast and the enthusiasm they share.

It's an important story to tell, especially in light of climate change. We need to gather as much intel as possible going forward so we at least know what damage is happening and then can make a plan to prevent and fix it.

I am particularly enamored with octopuses and love when they are featured. Deep sea octopuses were shown in the Seychelles, I believe. Please find more of them to observe! Thank you for a wonderful program and keep up the great work.

There was no warning from them about a scene in the first episode where orcas kill a baby humpback whale and I still feel sick to my stomach and I'm really depressed and I have lost all trust in National Geographic, James Cameron, Hulu and Disney Why would they show the disgusting things like the baby humpback without any warning for sensitive viewers?

I won't watch another episode of this vile series It keeps replaying in my mind and I'm shocked, anxious and really sad, the world has become so cruel and this only proves it For shark documentaries they don't show the cruel hunting great white sharks do without a warning for sensitive viewers If they can do that with sharks they can do it for other species I used to love National Geographic and the documentaries they put out, now I just get angry when I hear about them I feel betrayed and victimized and I'm having ptsd issues that are horrible I expected better from Cameron and I don't think I can forgive him National Geographic could go bankrupt and I would celebrate at this point I want to contact them.
