TV review J aw-dr0pping images and Obama's Voice offer sensory therapy
The Guardian|November 21, 2024
It hasn't been a great month for the US, at least if you support the Democrats. Donald Trump's election victory has put a great big question mark over the country and collective anxiety has spiked. People need to be soothed by something.

TV review J aw-dr0pping images and Obama's Voice offer sensory therapy

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 isn't going to cut it. And that is why it has launched Our Oceans: a beautifully shot deep-sea wildlife documentary narrated by Barack Obama.

Superficially, the series is the latest offering from the Obamas' growing content farm, which has already given us the delightful animated show Waffles Jr Mochi and the midlife-crisis nightmare fuel that was Renegades, the podcast Obama hosted with Bruce Springsteen. But if you voted for or supported the Democrats this month, Our Oceans basically qualifies as sensory therapy.
