While the cinematography is amazing, I cannot get past the narration script trying to indoctrinate the continuous use of the terms "culture" and "clans" in place of the longstanding terminology of using subgroups and pods when referring to whales.
The repetitive dialog distracts from the truly dynamic social structures captured on film when the last episode tries to tie in whale behavior into human cultural diversity. The lack of scientific language replaced by redundant verbage makes the viewer wonder what was the agenda of the script writers, to inform or subliminally indoctrinate.
James Cameron's narration at the conclusion gives a nice behind the scenes twist in the film maker's perspective about the filming the whales, which probably could have been an episode on its own.
