    Cruel and sickening

    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.

    Great and terrifying experience!

    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.

    Outstanding footage & scientific process

    This series goes deeper than a surface level exploration (all the puns intended) of animal footage to the hows and whys of scientific research. You'll love this if you want more than beautiful images or a cursory overview of animal behavior and ecosystems. OceanXplorers shows the team effort that goes into advancing our collective understanding of these precious animals and environments.

    It goes to show that facilitating the work of these marine biologists, divers, and tech innovators brings us novel insights into animal behavior alongside captivating footage that I'm sure will be educational for many. It was for me.

    Highly recommend this series! The other reviewer complaining about the predation scenes just doesn't get it.

    The ocean is awesome...

    ... and so is this series.

    An incredible look at cutting edge technology and never-before-seen wonders of the ocean. The mind-blowing cinematography and imagery will leave you in awe. Plus, who doesn't love James Cameron? A great combination of science, discovery, and storytelling. The explorer team pushes the limits of discovery, and makes me want to change careers. Our world is incredible and more people need to see it, appreciate it, and respect it. I hope they greenlight a second season.

    You can tell the production team went above and beyond to pull this off -- 10/10. Give this a watch. You won't be sorry.

    Great Storytelling Through Amazing Images

    This series uses amazing images to tell stories about the creatures and aquatic communities under the sea. The use of graphics, holograms, clear and colorful photography, and some amazing videos gets me lost in the story. And these episodes are indeed stories. They don't just educate and expose me to environments and creatures I've never seen, they help me understand how they live and how our behavior can impact them. I also enjoy that at the end of each episode they recap what was learned in that episode.

    The equipment used in these episodes is truly remarkable and creates opportunities that make even the experts sit back in awe!
