Strange Creatures

The writers of this series are obviously incredibly ignorant. They write disparagingly about the animals they show in both series. I was so over hearing the abuse I couldn't watch it anymore. Ugly, weird, funny-looking, frauds - the list just goes on & it's a constant barrage of negativity towards the animals and their features, instead of being educational, joyous & fun to watch - which these types of shows should be. There is absolutely zero respect for any of the animals in these series.

Please don't watch this garbage.

Watch some David Attenborough documentaries instead. Now they're wonderful to watch. Sir Attenborough is a decent, good man, who is a naturalist. He respects the beings he's interacting with & educating us about. It brings a sense of wonder, amazement & joy. The types of feelings kids & adults should be getting when learning about the animals, flowers & nature we share those extraordinary planet with.

I would give this particular show a minus Infinity if that were possible.

Get yourself some David Attenborough instead and have a really good, calming, educational time.

The narrator is not too bad, but his attempts of humorous lines are often cheesy.

The camera work is OK, but it is obvious a big amount of the footage is from enclosures in zoos, captive animals, etc. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but you don't want to see distracting enclosure structures, etc. in the background in a nature documentary.

The cinematography is poor - the framing is more or less point and shoot, the focus often goes in and out.

The actual content is probably the only thing that is slightly above average (maybe a "6" for just the topics), as there are some surprising facts.
