    lmao I know, I know. let me enjoy things.

    But honestly, this series has really good educational content and it’s narrated by David Attenborough (and Tom Hiddleston). The previous seasons focused on dinos, not mammals a la Walking with Dinosaurs (WwD). I am excited to see something like that for things that existed while humans were alive. We really forget the world we lost. It’s what I study!! And fun facts, Attenborough had actually been contacted for voicing WwD but rejected the writing. There is a reason why he chose this series too! :)

      I mean, who said you have to watch it on apple’s streaming service. The pirated stream is just to clicks away anyways…

      ETA: after having watched the first few minutes of the first season, I do have to wonder why they chose to portray T. rex without feathers? This doesn’t give me much confidence in the show and I feel like many such documentaries portray nuanced and complex things in a pretty one-dimensional way, giving the viewers the feeling that the show knows for certain what it is talking about.

        Yeah that’s why I don’t watch any documentary that is not actually documenting reality. They need a new word for shows like this.
