It hasn’t been a great month for the US, at least if you support the Democratic party. Donald Trump’s election victory has put a great big question mark over the entire country and collective anxiety has spiked. People desperately need to be soothed by something. I don’t know about you, but my go-to in times like these has always been sea-based wildlife documentaries. With their combination of wub-wub noises and near-ambient underwater photography, it’s the closest you can get to a brain massage.
But Netflix knows that, this time, a beautifully shot deep-sea wildlife documentary just isn’t going to cut it. No, this is serious. And that is why it has launched Our Oceans: a beautifully shot deep-sea wildlife documentary narrated by Barack Obama.
