I think this maybe David Attenboroughs last series, given his age. From seeing only the first episode it just has an epic feel, and some of the scenes are wonderful.

It's extraordinary. The dolphins communication with the false killer whales... You can't believe it until you see it. I hope everyone gets to watch this.

Sweet! Is it just now airing on network TV? Probably going to be a while before it ends up on Netflix.

Has this happened yet? I swear to god it happens at least once per episode.

1) Tiny fish swimming in a school
2) Swordfish chase em!
3) Tiny fish ball up for defense!!!
4) Dolphins join the fray!!!!
5) Tiny fish head towards the surface!!!!
6) Now WHALES IN THE MIX!!!!!
7) BIRDS DIVE DOWN FROMTHE SKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8) ALL TINY FISH EATEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

Well, I just finished watching the last part of the series, and cried about half the way through. David Attenborough loves nature, and the scale of problems facing oceanic life, from rising sea temperatures and ridiculous plastic pollution, is hard to bear.

But even so he keeps a positive approach, highlighting the success of whale hunting bans, and other measures. All of it combined with incredible film footage.

It's like looking at another world. But it isn't. It's our world. Attenborough is still patiently making that point, even at his age.
