It is NOW America. BTW the Gulf of America has more shoreline of America. Finally correctly named, like it or not. .
At least so many of our Based were not renamed for nutty reasons.

Tom Hanks? No thanks! Did he correctly refer to The Gulf of America as The Gulf of America?

I think this is an excellent series and I would watch it except for the narrator anything to do with Tom Hanks count me out he should stick to the entertainment industry and keep his opinions to himself

I’ll take Hanks. Attenborough puts us to sleep. If you believe in democracy, then even Hollywood types are entitled to free speech & the show was very interesting. About WATER & geology. Beautiful.

As far as the name of the Gulf…if any change was to be done, it should be to the Gulf of the AmericaS. South, Central & North all border it.

The first reasonable response here, without allowing certain craziness to pervade their daily lives, which may prevent their admiration of the beauty and nature of our planet, or any other enjoyments.

Ahhhh, he does and he did! And there’s no freakin way I’ll be watching the documentary. I think it’s a great subject, just can’t stand the narrator, for some reason.
