Netflix is home to a hoard of documentaries but these six works covering the vast oceans in the world are top tier and a must-watch.

6 Netflix Titles That Explore Our Mysterious Oceans That Are a Must Watch

From a shipwreck leading to the loss of more than 1500 lives to Nemo being
separated from his loved ones, there is a lot that the shimmering expanse of
blue that is our oceans are blamed for. It is not just the mysterious creatures
that it harbors or the giant waves it stirs up, that are at the receiving end of
daggers. It is also the fact that curiosity has, if not all the time, mostly
killed the cat when it comes to the ocean. But one look out of the submarine and
into these Netflix documentaries will tell you that it is not at all the case.

Netflix has honed the art of making documentaries that are equal part
informative as shocking and beautiful to perfection over the years. And this
stands especially true for its impressive catalog of titles that take you under
the sea. These include a few gems that will make even the little mermaid never
want to leave the sea.


6 NETFLIX OCEAN DOCUMENTARIES THAT TRANSPORT YOU TO A WHOLE NEW WORLD

Documentaries have always been a strength of Netflix’s content. The platform has
milked the genre effectively, leaving fans wanting more, like the recent hype
around Barack Obama’s new Netflix documentary
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-barack-obama-new-netflix-documentary-working-what-we-do-all-day-is-the-most-interesting-thing-happened-to-fans/].
So, it makes sense amidst all the true crime and celebrity documentaries, the
streamer has always delved into nature’s greatest gift: Ocean. If you have been
on a lookout for such works, these are for you.


6. OUR PLANET- NETFLIX’S FIRST NATURE DOCUSERIES

Netflix ventured into the art of making nature documentaries through Our Planet
in 2019. And although it is not entirely dedicated to the ocean, there are
several episodes in the docuseries that explore the impact humans have had on
the oceans. It is baffling to know that while 71% of the Earth’s surface is
water, the detrimental effect that human beings and their actions have had on it
is way greater.



The docuseries also boasts of wildlife filmmaker Alastair Fothergill as one of
its creators. He is the same man who was behind BBC’s Planet Earth. The episodes
in the first season that explore the seas are Coastal Seas and High Seas. From
the interdependency of the water animals to the unreal scenic shots, the
docuseries is a treasure box.


5. MOVING ART

This docuseries is not much of an encyclopedia containing information on the
vast ocean than it is a piece of visual splendor. Crafted by Louie Schwartzberg,
it is a joint effort of divers, photographers, and researchers to do justice to
the divine beauty that the ocean holds. Not only does this make way for scenic
shots but also introduces you to unique phenomenons that take place under the
blanket of the sea.


4. CHASING CORAL

While we have a timeless cinematic masterpiece helmed by James Cameron that
narrates what the ocean took from us, there is also a lot that humanity has
taken away from it. Chasing Coral is a reality check of how there has been a
massive depletion of coral reefs in the world.

Not only is this documentary a gift to the stimulus, but it also offers some
solutions to conserving the beauty of what remains. The movie was directed by
the renowned director Jess Orlowski and shone at its premiere during the 2017
Sundance Film Festival.


3. SEASPIRACY

The tongue-in-cheek title of the documentary is just a trailer of what unfolds
in its nearly two-hour-long runtime. Brought to life by Ali Tabrizi, Seaspiracy
does not leave any stone unturned in, giving the viewers a sobering reality
check. It explores and visualizes the destruction caused by plastic pollution,
ghost nets, and overfishing.



One thing to know before stepping into this sea world is that the narrator does
not mince his opinions. And if you are someone who enjoys seafood, you will feel
quite seasick during the entire ride. That does not change the fact that this is
one of Netflix’s top nature documentaries and there is a good reason for it.
Although, brutal Seaspiracy emphasizes that there is no other time than now to
mend our ways.


2. 47 METERS DOWN

This ocean title on Netflix is not made of the same thread as the rest. Firstly,
it is fictional. Secondly, it is a fictional survival thriller that follows two
sisters on a shark-diving adventure. While not really painting the ocean in a
great light, its gritty visuals of white sharks definitely stay with you for a
while.


1. MISSION BLUE

While Netflix has a very intriguing range of options when it comes to oceans,
there is one that is a cut above the rest. This 2014 documentary has an Emmy and
also a courageous Dr. Sylvia Earle fighting off pollution, overfishing, and
climate change to the best of her ability. It is not just another documentary
but almost a loving ode to the ocean.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
