Freddie Mercury: The King of Queen (2018)
Paul Gambaccini is incredibly rude
As such this would be a good documentary but Paul Gambaccini makes it painful to watch. He is depicting Freddy Mercury as an ugly man from Zanzibar, who was lucky to be famous and charismatic enough to give Hitler a run for his money. He then continues to call Montserrat Caballé as an unattractive woman who you would not expect to sing as well as she did. Paul Gambaccini sells information as new that every Queen fan already knows but acts like he is the one who ate wisdom by the spoon. Total let down for a documentary that had potential. Definitely would not recommend this documentary to any Queen fan unless you want to be offended on Freddie's behalf.
Wild Babies (2022)
Made for families with children
Lovely little series with very cute animals, and nice narration by Helena Bonham-Carter. The narration is fairly dramatic considering that there is always a good ending to every "dramatic" situation. It's also fairly clear that scenes are cut together to create dramatic effects. It is quite clear that this is a show for families with children, saving the children from the real life of wild babies. Overall sweet, and I am sure families will enjoy it very much, but not necessarily realistic.
