The BBC's landmark series on marine wildlife continues with this pair of uncommonly beautiful episodes. "Seasonal Seas" focuses on the explosion of life that accompanies every annual blooming of plankton, numbering in the countless billions and captured here with brilliant microphotography. The plankton provide a seasonal feast for a stunning variety of creatures, including the gigantic basking shark, sea otters, immense swarms of jellyfish, bat rays, and dancing Australian squid. In massive kelp forests, we witness such delightful sights as white-sided dolphin playing a game of "pass the seaweed." In "Coral Seas" miles-long reefs of living coral are explored, from deep within (requiring brief computer animation) to the surrounding environs, where you'll see white-tipped sharks in a feeding frenzy while beautiful harlequin shrimp wrestle with a starfish. Stunningly photographed and supplemented by an informative DVD bonus interview with producer Alastair Fothergill, these episodes represent a filmmaking legacy that will reward viewers for many years to come. --Jeff Shannon

stunning
The photography was the best I've seen,the story line was highly interesting and informative,I was awed by the ability of the film crews to capture scenes that must rarely occur...one of the best series I have ever seen

Out of our usual world
Just like I said, out of our usual world. Is it really like that under the water. The Blue Planet team not just filmed it, but brought it to life for all those of us who don't spend their lives under the sea. Excellent script, perfect photography, flawless sound mixing, magical music. A multiple thumbs up.

must own
