Amazing footage and shooting - Shame about the narration
3 February 2022
The usually high standard of filming from Mr Skerry the whole thing is unfortunately ruined by the narration.

Sigourney Weaver narrates in the over the top American touchy feely love and commitment and let talk about the children; as if that wasn't bad enough she speak so slowly it is almost patronising.

Every story is a committed mother and a child in peril.

While there is some science in the stories a lot of what she says is best summed up with the whale seems to be thinking about love for it calf.

If you want to learn something about whales there are numerous better documentaries available this is severely lacking.

And of the facts you get in this series are best double-checked elsewhere as there are things suggested as fact that are educated guesses at best.
