Secrets of the Octopus gives us a long look at these eight-tentacled cephalopods, walking (or swimming) us through the different species and looking at their behaviors, environments, communities and quirks.
Hopefully, by the time you've finished the documentary, you'll be an expert in these bizarre but fascinating creatures.
