Who'll love it
Made for families and the curious. If you loved Planet Earth II or Our Planet, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Feel-good, eye-opening.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 7 hours in all.
What might put you off
Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

There is nowhere more powerful and unforgiving yet more beautiful and compelling than the ocean. Join us and explore the greatest yet least known parts of our planet.
