Review

  • Nature docs continue to benefit from the massive increases in camera sensor technology, now able to see in the dark. Unfortunately this new ability is squandered, this series could have easily been cut down to half its length and would have been better for it as the narratives are forced, and the footage is toned down to disney levels of "reality", and every moment watching the animals is interrupted with cuts to pointless babbling by the crew and narrator as they skip across the planet in an attention deficit fashion.

    As mentioned by others, the depressive tones of the droning female narration just grates on your nerves, it matters as the documentary is many hours long, and so this one choice mars the rest of the effort, it simply continuously pulls you out of the immersion. It isn't an accent, it is an affectation, "denise" was born and raised in washington DC.
