4. Chasing Coral

A "sequel" of sorts to Jeff Orlowski's 2012 documentary Chasing Ice, Chasing Coral is a passionate, well-argued film about the dangers facing the world's fast-dying coral reefs.

An emotional plea for progress backed by a wealth of of scientific support, this is probably the most eye-catching Netflix Original released to date, full of eye-meltingly beautiful footage of the world's elaborate underwater coral systems. If you own a 4K television, this is an absolute must-see (and even if not, it'll still blow you away).

No matter your knowledge of coral reefs going in, you'll come out feeling educated on the matter and crucially also taken aback by all the incredible natural beauty.
