The actual detailing of the abilities of the octopuses was very interesting and generally well filmed. It's just too bad that's not what this series stuck with.
The 3 episodes seems to focus WAY too much on what the biologist/scientist "feel" about the octopuses they are studying. I thought it was supposed to be about octopuses, not about how the people studying them feel or imagine octopuses think.
I liked Rudd's voice over work. I disliked all the scientists voice overs. The scientists narratives made this far less about "secrets" and more about speculation or wild leaps to anthropomorphize octopuses. "I like to imagine she's dreaming about me." Really? Come on.
The James Cameron bit was pointless and self-indulgent.
