A true marvel, a hidden gem among the vast number of documentaries produced every day of the year. A smash hit in Sweden aired on TV4 with a record audience, a nail biting in depth cinematic adventure worthy being made into a Hollywood Big Studio feature film! I would rate it more than ten stars if the option was available. It also aired in Norway and Denmark. If ever there was a depiction of Russian submarines strategically positioned to launch atomic missiles this is that and so much more; a tale of courage, a tale of unfathomable chance one in a trillion, a tale of love over nation building, a tale of human capacity triumphs all and so much more. Bravo!

It is a story about something. The problem is that all those programs doing crime scene investigations and air crashes investigate and present a lot in 45 minutes. This story has less material than the average such episode, and would be good for about 35 minutes documentary. Now they make it into 3x44 minutes, which is at least three times as long as needed for this small material.

Otherwise the story is good and worth telling, but its a very short story.

And as usual there are the people with their families leaving 10s as reviews. But calm down, noone that is not partisian and in their right mind would give 10 to this series. That is reserved for truly timeless creations, which this is not.

I really appreciated this documentary. It is about that specific era in the eighties, but there is a lot to recognize today as well. Some things have changed and others have not. Authenticity, warmth and hope. Watched all three episodes in one afternoon.

The documentary secret sea is fantastic!

It has everything, its intresting, exiting, emotional and after episod 1 you cant stop watching it ...Its so well done in all aspects..Beatiful pictures, and the music in the film is beautiful. The film is a masterpiece...

This story is unbelievable! I simply could not stop watching. I love that it is a documentary that includes acting, it made me very invested. The actors did a very good job. It is also noticeable that a lot of work has been put into the making of this documentary. The script is well written and it is impressive how much research has been done and how close to an answer the makers were able to come up with. Furthermore, I believe that the experts (Like Malcolm Dixelius) added credibility to the documentary. I also believe that the "flashbacks" to the 1980's and the music was very nice. This is a must see! I would recommend it to anyone.
