What is wrong with everybody? The majority of the reviews that I have read are complaining and criticizing everything about this show, recommending that no one watch. It's FICTION. So, yes, there will be factual inaccuracies and the "science" won't be possible in real life. It's not a documentary. It's not reality TV. If you expect everything to be spot on, then you clearly do not understand the concept of "entertainment." When I'm watching educational programming, I expect the writers and the producers to check their facts. They SHOULD make sure the scenery matches the supposed location, for example. This is NOT educational television. Watch some classic black and white shows and you'll see what entertainment is supposed to look like.
I, for one, have been thoroughly entertained and I'm on Episode 10. In previous episodes there have been a couple of plot twists that I didn't see coming, which was fun. I really like Abraham and Chloe and always look forward to hearing them speak. One reason is that I know Abraham's dialogue is going to be sneakily humorous.
While this show is not believable in the realm of true-to-life, the characters may not be developed enough for some viewers, and the writing might be weak for other viewers, I find the whole package a delightful way to spend an hour....bubblegum for the brain. Not too heavy, not requiring much analysis, just entertaining. If that's what you're looking for, too, then this is a show for you. If you're looking for a NatGeo-esque venture into the Wild Kingdom, stay away.
