In this over simplification of dinosaur life, we get to see how sensational the writers can be about these majestic creatures. Countless times throughout the series the narrator defines dinosaurs as "Killers" "Terrible killers" Deadly killers" "Monsters". Watch and roll your eyes at the blood splattered on the screen and ground. Anti-intellectual and narrow in scope. Dinosaurs lived for millions of years and depicting them only as "Horrible killers" does them a disservice in my opinion. Did they kill their prey to survive? Yes, as do lions, polar bears, and bald eagles. This is a common theme in nature but is it their sole defining attribute? No, and it shouldn't be. For a lover of nature and one always interested in the natural history of our planet, this series was disgraceful.
