Quick Look: If you visit the Blue World website, you'll find over 40 webisodes available for free viewing. But these webisodes are not the same as the series episodes avaiable on the Blue World Roku channel. The webisodes are short - the ones I sampled were less than 10 minutes in length. The Roku videos are closer to a half-hour in length.
Three seasons of Blue World episodes are available, but the total number of videos is small. There are only five episodes from Season 1, seven from Season 2, and nine from Season 3. The ninth episode is billed as the season finale and there isn't, as of yet, a new season underway. Since the channel carries a recurring monthly fee, I had expected to see very recent videos, indicating regular updates. Hopefully, new videos will be added fairly often. Otherwise, viewers can pay the fee, watch all 21 videos, and cancel the subscription.
If you do choose to subscribe, you'll find a wide variety of ocean-related topics. The latest episode features the saltwater fish of Mexico's Riviera Maya. Other recent episodes cover coral reefs, blind cavefish, sharks, sea snakes, dolphins... well, you get the idea.
