All of that is present here in "The Deep". 'The Blue Planet' is the perfect example of a documentary, or anything actually, that transfixed, fascinated, moved and educated me when first viewed and still does. Like "Ocean World" received two awards for cinematography and music, "The Deep" was nominated for two Emmys for Sound Mixing and Editing, both more than worthy nominations. The sense of wonder seen in "Ocean World" can be seen just as much in "The Deep". To me, the series overall is wholly deserving of its acclaim and the individual episodes are rated far too low. As said in my reviews for the individual episodes of 'Frozen Planet', it is a shame that despite being one of IMDb's highest rated shows, the ratings here for each episode individually has such a wide divide between them and that for the show overall. It is also one of his most ground-breaking, in that it's the first comprehensive series of oceanic natural history and including and exploring creatures and their behaviour that had never been seen before. It leaves me in complete and utter awe every time, with how much is learnt about all the different seas and marine inhabitants and how it all looks visually. 'The Blue Planet' is one of my favourites of his. He has done so many treasures and even his lesser output of a long and consistently impressive career is still good. David Attenborough, as has been said many times, is wholly deserving of being called a national treasure, although it is a term he happens to not like.
