Blue Planet

This series has David Attenborough narrating multiple DVD's of vignettes on the ocean and its plant and animal life. The footage is like no other, astounding, time-consuming and costly to get, and they show it in sections - open ocean is one, coral seas is another, etc. Very informative and educational, and compelling. One downside is that if Phil and I try to watch it on a Friday night after a long work week, we usually doze off, because lots of the music is dreamy-like. However, we can watch it all the way through on Saturday and are amazed at the footage. We use Netflix, as I think at least some of you do, so we would have one of the Blue Planet series at home and watch over a few days of viewings, and would have another non-educational type movie here for our "veg out" nights. We are so taken with this series that our Netflix queue has similar DVD's every 3rd one or so (currently we are working on "In Cold Blood", the reptile series - I'll let you know when we're done).
