I got my first 4K TV, and I was looking for content to see what all the fuss is about. I stumbled on this show because it seemed to have spectacular underwater footage to see the TV's capabilities (and, after tweaking settings the TV, I do understand what the fuss is about).
But that's not the point. This is really an extraordinary documentary about a man's relationship with an Octopus that he develops while visiting it every day while snorkeling.
Putting aside the relationship, it shows how beautiful, resilient and intelligent this creature is. I highly recommend it.
I've been a loyal Samsung customer for years, but the latest one I bought for a bedroom had a green line running through it that couldn't be fixed. So I was pissed.
I did a lot research on rtings.com and found the TCL S535 Series 65" QLED 4K for $650. I was very skeptical, did a boatload of research and took the plunge. It really is a fantastic TV. You have to tweak the settings, and it doesn't have every bell and whistle in the world, but as a pure TV (streaming too), the quality/price ratio is off the charts.

What happen to Ringo?
In the same book of essays, there is a review of the tennis player Tracy Austin’s autobiography that is really interesting for sports fans. Wallace was a terrific essayist.
While the story presented that the guy was a photographer (and capturing the footage), they clearly had someone or something stationed by the Octopus around the clock to capture some of the footage.

was how they got the footage. It just didn't seem possible that it was all truly shot in the moment.

I was under the impression that he had set up cameras on his own to watch the octopus but I very much could be wrong!
but the guy fell in love with an octopus, that was a bit strange.
Interesting doc overall.
