Well made. Enjoyable and worthwhile content for older children. Young ones will likely be scared at times so not appropriate viewing for them. Parents will probably end up watching this too(I did!).
This is a great series. Both educational and exciting! My kids LOVE it (Miss 8 and Mr 10). Stumbled across it during school holidays - then downloaded the whole series which they devoured! So refreshing to find quality TV programs at a time when there's so much junk around.
We're really hoping there'll be a series 2. Please!!! We'll keep checking and hoping it goes on to further series.
Thanks for making a great show.
P.S: The kids love the pet fish. They have a pet turtle and frogs and now wish we could build a special tank that wraps around our house - and they'd love a submarine too!

Absolutely love this show and how it brings science and conservation into a format kids can understand. Everyone says how they love watching it with their kids but I'm not ashamed to say I'm 18 and just watch it because I love it. You don't need kids to enjoy this masterpiece.
My 13 y/o son LOVED this TV series and couldn't wait to watch the next one. I really wish there were more seasons and more episodes of this TV series, b/c it was clean AND educational, which is so hard to find these days. My son loves anything that deals w/sea creatures, so this was the perfect show for him, and b/c it was shown on Netflix, he didn't see any commercials, and could go from one episode to the next. Please consider making more shows for this series. Would there be a way to be notified if more episodes come out? I highly recommend this series to parents!!!! Thank you for making quality shows like this so I don't have to worry about the content of what my son is watching!!! Lisa Moon
I loved this. There's not much underwater sci-fi out there and this is great - informative, exciting, and with some cool tech' (the sub' the Aronnax is almost Tethyan in its coolness). The characters are well rounded, not at all your typical competent martyr mum, hapless dad, and clever kids. Mum Keiko is an expert pilot, dad Will is a myth-hunting marine expert, their (younger) son Ant is a genius with a remarkable pet fish, and their (older) daughter Fontaine is sassy and sceptical. The kids in particular are both likable in their different ways and also annoying (when they bicker). The plots are always more than you think they will be, with just enough hard science in the mix to ensure that there are no easy ways out, and here and there just a sprinkling of the supernatural. The bad guys also deserve a mention, the pirate crew of the Dark Orca (another brilliant conception) with Hammerhead, Mad Madeleine (his daughter), Smiling Finn (his somewhat reluctant son) and Danny Boy. Excellent. Roll on series 2!
