AWFUL NARRATION RUINS
jrh-connects2 September 2022
Bizarre, repulsive, and awkward personification that "un-tigers," falsifies, and diminishes the tiger, while interfering with immersion and distracting from the subject matter.

Stumbles haphazardly and incongruently between explaining the science and talking "as the tiger," in a way which totally misleads youngsters about the animal's point of view, and what we do/don't know about that.

Yet another embarrassing blunder in a line from these producers for Big Cat Week.

*First-person narration does not connect better with kids.*

It just treats them like they are stupid, and dumbs down their content, making them dumber, when it was meant to elevate their minds.

Have *some taste, use at least SOME sophistication, and watch our kids rise to the occasion.

Seriously?

Never would I think an animal documentary be unwatchable but somehow it's been done. The narration over this is violating. Whoever green lit this should be sacked, this is beautiful footage of tigers that has to be watched on mute. But not only that but how this doc has been put together throughout. How this hasn't been nuked in every fashion proves why they believe they can put this weird garbage out like this to the public. At first I thought it might've been tailored to very small kids under 7 but those graphic images of the tigers being hunted and killed at the very beginning of the documentary ruins that on top of TV-14 rating which I thought had to be a mistake, wrong. But mostly Salvatore Vecchio...

Stop with the weird first person narration.

I have never felt compelled to review an episode of television until today. I turned this on is hopes of seeing some cute tiger action and was instead bombarded by bizarre first person narration from the perspective of the tiger. The footage of the animals and landscape were breathtaking and there was potential for an education and compelling episode of television, but instead they hired some guy who I have to imagine auditioned for the live action Lion King and was rejected, and he ruined the whole thing. Quite frankly, this is unwatchable. Within 25 minutes I stood up in a fit of rage and declared that I could no longer tolerate the "weird tiger man" and forfeited the remote. If the narrator at least had a Russian accent, I'd consider giving this 2 stars.
