The war between the land and the sea - BBC
Discussion
Thought it was quite funny to start with, but now it's getting a lot preachy. 
So many things just don't make sense, like the tunnel, are they fresh water or salt water?
So they are capable of removing waste from the oceans and have waited until now to do it
, and keep saying 'plastic' and then out comes a very metal ship.
And that's without mentioning the sound being all over the place, huge amounts of dialogue are inaudible.
I reckon we could have them in a fight, they only seem to have pointy sticks.
And my money is on Big Ears shagging the Transfish and saving the world with a new breed of Them/They EnviroFish Kids

They always were though weren't they - it is one genre that very much uses allegory. If you pick some of the older onesGod, one longs for the simple fun of Creature From The Black Lagoon's honest to goodness

Star Trek definitely leaned into social issues of the day.
Planet of the Apes was a blatant social commentary on race laws and racism in the US
Day the Earth Stood still - nuclear weapons
Invasion of the Body snatchers was anti McCarthy
Probably a few more form the 50's that were subtlety jabbing at the establishment.
I found myself waiting for the next 'hot' subject. Ocean pollution, gender fluidity, climate change, and so on. When 'she-it' called for a glass of water it was one of those mundane daily things that only ever feature in dramas when they are going to lead to lesson to the audience. Then the 'fish' wanted it drawn from the river the general surprise and that the ambassador was going to be told to drink it was so stupidly obvious it could be seen coming from a mile.
Fill the plot with apparently ridiculous requirements until someone just has to snap and will be somehow punished for their 'disrespect'. This sort of paint by numbers stuff belongs on children's hour along with The Lost Planet of Hesikos from the Home Service radio at 5 o'clock in the 1950s
