I would recommend people not to watch it and instead watch this well done critique (and criticism) titled “My Octopus Teacher & Environmental Horror” by Maggie Mae. [1]

I could’ve spent my time better if I’d watched this and avoided “My Octopus Teacher” altogether.

Sorry but I really tried watching that and nothing about it made me want to either a) keep watching past the first few minutes or b) accept that she actually had a point.

Which she probably did, but certainly not to the level that I'd agree watching your suggestion would be more enriching than watching the original documentary.

In fact, now I want to watch My Octopus Teacher for the 4th time, despite all the excellent alternative suggestions in this thread!
