    Best Nature Show Ever!

    Seriously it's the best nature show I've ever seen! Beautifully shot, extremely informative, great use of storytelling and absolutely hilarious! Ryan Reynolds puts his signature humor and voice over talents into telling the story of the odd and the weird in the animal kingdom aka "Underdogs". This show is not only scripted well but also uses a well curated soundtrack to make it purely enjoyable and entertaining while at the same time informing us about these oddities in the animal world. I'm also very impressed with the videography and how close up the film makers are able to get to these animals to tell all of these stories.

    Hilarious and totally accessible!

    I love watching nature documentaries as is, but if you make them funny it's so much better!

    I've adored Ryan Reynolds since he was on Fifteen! To see people badmouth the documentary BECAUSE of him, is ludicrous! His humor helps deal with some of the tough realities of Mother Nature. Sometimes watching buzzards going at it can be a lot and we need have gallows humor to help us find the way!

    I hope there will be a new season!

    Funny, brutal and Disgusting

    Ryan Reynolds narrating - funny, engaging and entertaining. His storytelling, laced with humour, perfectly complements the visuals.

    The series itself ranges from the large animals of Africa, to cuter ones in Bali, India sea creatures and also insects.

    The Carnivorous larvae of the fungus gnat in New Zealand (pretty glow worms), spiders (of course) and other small life forms.

    You'll never look at child raising the same way again.

    Some of it is funny, the brutal attempt by jackals to dismantle and eat Barry the Honey Badger, the fall of the baby artic geese from 800ft up, the sh***y defense (literally) of male hippos, it is NOT for the squeamish.

    We all know about vultures meals and the cat iron stomachs but did you know all the different vulture specialities? The Bu** eater for instance?

    It is a fascinating and well produced documentary, perhaps not all suitable for the children though.

    It starts with meals, and defence, seeking a mate, sex practices, moves on to birth, child rearing, and covers the grossiest habits of the gross creatures around the planet finally.

    Eeeww.....but very very interesting. One of the best ones and highly recommended.

    Finally, fun & education in one show

    Sorry Morgan Freeman, from now on Ryan Reynolds needs to narrate everything!!

    This show is fantastic. Excellent camera work, not the usual animals being featured and Ryan Reynolds brand of humour bringing it all together.

    This is how to get people who aren't interested in nature shows to enjoy them.

    An excellent choice of music that really suits the situations being shown mixed with references to movies and pop culture are such a great combination I'm surprised it hasn't been tried before and Ryan Reynolds is truly an inspired choice for this role.

    I hope there are many more seasons to come.

    LMBO!

    Where is the line we can't cross? Right there? Can I put my baby toe over it? No? How about my overgrown big toenail??

    And that's all you need to know LOLLLLL Hilarious, sassy, maybe not for your kids and all you expected from a nature series narrated by Deadpool. Everything I'd hoped...my cheeks hurt! :-)

    Also, I actually learned about some creatures if never heard of in all the other David Attenborough shows I've ever watched. Enjoyed every episode, all the jokes, and believe it or not it is filmed REALLY well!

    This show was awesome, I'd totally recommend it to the 13+ nature show enthusiast!
