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.

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.

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....

Visually is stunning and a great documentary to watch but I am just not able to like the narration from Barack Obama.... I just doesn't sound exciting at all... More like someone reading the newspaper and trying to make an effort to make it exciting but it simply isn't. I think it was a bad choice even though the name stand out.

English is not my native language so I switched to German and thank God the voice is exciting and nice to listen to. In German 10/10 but in English I just can't listen to the voice without feeling a bit disappointed considering that there are so many great "voices " out there for documentaries , so a 7/10.

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.
