    Unbelievable

    Anyone who saw the first installment remembers the feeling of awe they had, listening to David telling us of the Deep Blue. Somehow they have outdone this. The mysteries of the ocean are unveiled in this masterpiece of film in which I feel is an unparalleled feat of modern cinematography. Can give it no higher praise, an educational delight and simply unmissable.

    Absolutely epic

    If you loved the first installment of the series, you'll love this too, no questions asked. Do yourself a favor and stop using your eyes for reading and go watch it now. I still have to write 2 more lines but I'll put down some random nonsense until you stop reading this and go watch it. 10/10

    Unbelievably good

    The first two episodes seemed to me to be among the best episodes of a TV documentary I had ever seen. Then, yesterday, episodes 3 came along and took things to a whole new level.It was beautiful and informative beyond words. The producers have created something very special which will be viewed with awe and admiration for many years to come. Blue Planet II is easily one of the classiest productions ever made and everyone involved deserves a round of applause. The small glimpses into how this incredible show was created are very welcome but, in all honesty, you could probably have a 7 part series devoted to just that. Brilliant TV.

    There is still hope

    Watching this masterpiece of a documentary, I do believe that, if we all contribute and change our way of life to a more respectful and sustainable way, the oceans and the planet still will have a chance to survive the human species. This documentary it should be shown in every school and broadcasting worldwide, so everyone could appreciate the raw beauty of our planet and that we have to do EVERYTHING in our power to save it, starting from NOW. There is still hope, we just have to believe and fight for it, It is worth it.

    The Greatest

    This is by far the best BBC Natural History program I have watched this year(besides Spy in the Wild). It just keeps getting better. Especially with Attenborough, Zimmer, Buck Taylor, and everyone else. For me, and possibly others, this is a solid 10/10. As I write this, One Ocean and The Deep have already come out. It truly is a window of hope in a world being destroyed before us.
