Absolute incredible story
This is one of the best documentaries of its kind I've ever seen. This story just goes to show how little we know and understand the ocean and the animals that live in it. This documentary is so well made from start to finish I really can't describe it. The cinematography, the story, the narration, the music all flow together so perfect there is no question why this was Oscar worthy. I think what makes this show so special is the simple fact that you feel like you are part of his journey, part of his experience, and part of his emotions. I didn't expect to feel the way I did when the show ended that's for sure. Easily worth your time and once you get about 20 minutes into it, you are there until the end. Guarantee you will never think about an octopus the same after you watch it. I gave it a 10 because of the emotional attachment it leaves you with.... Hard to accomplish that in today's viewing options. So turn off all the electronic distractions and hit the play button. Chances are outstanding you will appreciate this show and enjoy it as much as everyone else has.
