Human Footprint

Why does this show have to make everything flashy and loud? The answer is that they are missing a clear message. Each interview, each scene, even when it's an impressive nature shot, is over edited into oblivion. The editorializing makes it honestly hard to watch, which is sad because I was originally excited by this new show. There's a sense that the show doesn't know who its audience is, and that lack of clarity makes it hard to get into throughout. While there are some good moments (like the filming in the fishing scene) I was distracted by the lack of grounding and by the flashy jump-cuts every second. The journalism itself also seems to be lacking real depth. I am not wildlife expert, and I found myself feeling like I also hadn't learned anything after the first two episodes.
