    This document-series is just great, as a whale lover this made understand and appreciate them even more.

    The premise of this how is to make whales appear to be similar to humans and I think they do a pretty good job showing the familial relations and the complexity of their language as bullet points.

    So far so good for Secrets of the Whales. Nature-doc lovers will eat this stuff up like, I dunno, a generous-of-spirit orca to a half-eaten stingray.

    It takes just a single glance at the opening scene—a member of the orca family pivoting about in the ocean—to feel you’ve been transported to paradise. ... Spectacular series. ... The show’s impact has, needless to say, everything to do with Brian Skerry’s impossibly intimate photography of these creatures.

    The sights and sounds in “Secrets of the Whales” are dazzling throughout, thanks in large part to the epic camerawork by Brian Skerry, who captures the whales with such intimate detail, there are times when it appears as if they’re looking right at us.
