Came across this by accident. I am in my 60's and my grandchild is 2 - we BOTH love the series. Members of our family who are between those ages do as well. The messaging, the script, the ideas, the graphics, the originality are stellar! My only complaint is that there's only 2 seasons.
Wow. My daughter (now 2nd grade) and I have just watched these 2 seasons for a 2nd time. This is quality literature and quality programming. I truly enjoyed watching them with her while I cooked dinner each evening.
We don't watch pony or most fairy shows because, well, those are mostly junk food TV. And we're not geeks. We're just normal.
Netflix - Please pick up this programming. The creators and execution team have done a fantastic job.
Please someone sign up this team for another season!!!
I truly believe that if others knew about this show, that you'd see the potential.

One of only a few that i enjoy watching with my kids. Smart, engaging ang well made. I hope they make more seasons.
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!
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
