    Back to what I enjoy about Nature programs

    This has the science backing up the facts and has some intreging new technology to show the way colours are seen in nature.

    Don't understand the reasoning behind the third episode

    It feels like this whole series was just edited lazily. The third episode should have been incorporated into the other two, but instead is repetitive, containing the same exact species, cuts, information and dialogues, with a bit of a "behind the scenes ". It just doesn't seem right.

    obvious subject matter

    David Attenborough hosts this Netflix nature doc on how creatures use colors to survive and thrive. It seems to be an obvious subject matter for a nature TV show. In addition to the obvious, I do learn some things. I didn't know that a tiger's orange coloring blends in with the green background and the color blind prey. So far, there're only three episodes. There should be more to this subject matter.

    A beautiful film!!

    There is a brilliant effort by David Attenborough and his team to give us all preview of beauty of life in a Netflix series called 'Life in Colour'

    It's fascinating, enthralling and some of the beautiful mysteries of wild life unravelled and shown in three parts,; Seeing, Hiding and Chasing in colour.

    Well till I saw this I had thought Peacock was a colourful being, Chameleon changed colours, zebra was black and white but never knew why all this was....

    It is an amazing film( how they have done their camera work is shown at the end) where even a tiniest of being in the wild uses color to its advantage, how its not just the chameleon that changes color and how the zebra uses its stripes as a defence system!!

    I don't think my excitement of having watched 2 parts so far can be poured in words... cause it's a wonderful connection of the filmmaker and his subjects that is so universal that it needs to be seen and experienced!!

    Watch this and I bet you will realise life is soo beautiful with colour or black and white! It will take your mind to a beautiful place! Enjoy!!!

    First time

    It's my first time watching a nature documentary and maybe this is why I found this one so attractive. But "attractive" wasn't the only thought. It was an amazing experience. I loved every single detail. It's interesting and full of colour. I really enjoyed it.
