Blue Planet II was announced in 2013 and was filmed over four years in 39 countries, in more than 125 international trips. All are good, but after the beauty of the main features, they seem a bit ordinary, (especially the Dive to Shark Volcano) like something you'd see on the Discovery Channel, although admittedly, with better footage. Blue Planet II is a 2017 British nature documentary series on marine life produced by the BBC Natural History Unit.Like its predecessor, The Blue Planet (2001), it is narrated and presented by the naturalist Sir David Attenborough. Other feature programs include Amazon Abyss, Dive to Shark Volcano, and Being There: Antartica and Being There: Between the Tides. An eight-part series that explores the history of the worlds oceans and exposes never-before-seen depths. The extras are fun, too, as they take us behind the scenes for each episode and give us some insight into the work - and patience - needed to get this incredible footage. Travel to the depths of our mysterious oceans to discover all kinds of curious creatures underwater from fish that communicate by glowing to the deadly Por. The scenery was complemented by orchestra music accompanied by the sounds of the water and wildlife beautifully. The narration was distinct and clear by David Attenborough, with his wonderful British accent.

The only way the video could be improved would be to watch this on an HD or BluRay (it's available in both formats). (Don't worry, it's not all water.) The eight episodes (50 minutes each) focus on the life in the water, around it, how they interact, and how they can all be affected by the slightest change. The best way to sum it up: amazing! For those of you familiar with the Planet Earth series, this is in the same vein - and from the same producers - only focusing on the rest of the planet, the part covered by water.

The series opener explores the sheer scale, power and complexity of the oceans that govern the planet. And since the holidays aren't too far off now (sad but true), keep this one in mind for that hard to shop for person on your list - or put it on your wish list. The oceans are an integral part of the Earths life cycle, influencing weather systems and supporting a huge range of life. This set was re-released a few weeks ago (October 2) in an all new set with more extras, and it's worth a mention.
