Ronald B 3-5 minutes of animal footage, 10 min of watching humans stating common sense observations about what theyre seeing. Almost unwatchable except it made me laugh by how terrible it is. Contrived and repetitive lines. "This is real, real exploration. No idea what we are getting into." If you know you know. The biologists are straight out of the movie Idiocracy. South Parks history channel episode was satire, but these are those experts. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Audience Member I can't get past the obnoxious presenters and their overblown, scripted dialogues and personalities. Why do nature dics need to be more about the humans than the animals. Unwatchable. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
