Consistently comparing whales to humans was frankly obnoxious, I felt offended for the whales, jk sort of. Is the audience of this documentary supposed to be so narrow minded that they cannot view anything outside of their human relationship existence? Or were the people completing the documentary so narrow minded that THEY couldn't interpret something outside of their human construct? Whatever the case the comparison was repeated ad nauseam.

As a fan of nature documentaries I appreciate the new information and insight that these shows usually possess, the thought that is often provoked. This show left no room for interpretation. Nearly every speaking segment told you what to think about each piece, even incredulously telling you what the WHALES were thinking. The photography was fantastic, the commentary was preachy and pedantic.

Netflix seems to have taken over where National Geographic left off.
