Our Planet: One Planet (2019)
What a way to kick off this docu-series
I was hooked in the first five minutes. Watching the boobies (hehehe) nose dive into the ocean, to rooting for wildebeest calves, to watching an utterly phenomenal event occur in Greenland with nothing but Mother Nature doing her thing (I don't even want to give a hint of a spoiler, it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen), this series kicks off with a bang. I couldn't possibly see any reason why anyone wouldn't enjoy this first episode.
Oh, and David Attenborough is an absolute treasure. Our Planet, Blue Planet, and the Planet Earth series wouldn't be the same without him.
Terrorism Close Calls (2018)
Interesting so far...
Except for the insufferable narrator. I've watched the first episode, and am 3 minutes into the second, and have heard him mispronounce three words already. Dude, you're the narrator. Learn the words that are on your script. He pronounced a Terrorists name Zarein (Zah-reen) as Zair-ee-en. I mean dude, the FBI agents are saying it throughout the episode, how could you mess that up? He pronounce triacetone as "Try-Sara-tone". And so far, 3 minutes in, he's pronounced "nuclear" as "nucular".
I had to knock 3 stars off just for that. ( and one for the dumb CSI type graphics) Other than that, it's been interesting how these plots get foiled.
But seriously, bro. A narrator of a show's first priority should be to make sure you can read.
