Absurd Planet (2020)

Hilarious Narration Makes Absurd Planet a Gem!
15 May 2024
"Absurd Planet" is a hilarious take on wildlife documentaries. Forget stuffy narration! Here, the animals themselves deliver the commentary, with witty observations and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor.

The narration and voice acting are fantastic. They perfectly capture the absurdity of the animal kingdom and had me laughing out loud throughout. While it's lighthearted, the show still manages to be informative, showcasing interesting animal behaviors.

If you're looking for a fun and educational watch, "Absurd Planet" is a great choice. Especially for those who enjoy documentaries with a twist! (8/10)

Unveiling Our Mysterious Cousins
2 May 2024
If you're curious about Neanderthals, BBC Studio's new documentary "Secrets of the Neanderthals" offers a compelling look at these enigmatic human ancestors. Narrated by the ever-intriguing Sir Patrick Stewart, the doc delves into recent discoveries that challenge traditional views of Neanderthals.

The focus on the Shanidar Cave excavation in Iraqi Kurdistan is particularly captivating. Here, we see archaeologists unearth new evidence that sheds light on Neanderthal behavior and rituals. The documentary also explores intriguing sites in France and Croatia, adding depth to the Neanderthal story.

While some sections might feel like a refresher for those already familiar with Neanderthals, the fresh research and engaging presentation make it worthwhile. However, the film could have benefited from a bit more on the reasons for their eventual extinction.

Overall, "Secrets of the Neanderthals" is a solid documentary that will leave you wanting to know more about our closest extinct relatives. It's perfect for a casual watch and a good fit for anyone interested in human evolution and prehistory. (7 out of 10)

"Unraveling the Mysteries of Ancient Marine Life: The First Swimmers in the Ocean"
15 December 2023
"While the Netflix documentary 'Life on Our Planet' provides fascinating insights into the history of life on Earth, it's important to note that the claim about jellyfish being the first animals to swim freely in the ocean around 530 million years ago is not entirely accurate. The first ancestors of fish or animals closely related to fish began to swim around this time. Jellyfish, while ancient, are not believed to have evolved until about 505 million years ago. The transition from the seafloor to free swimming was a significant evolutionary step that paved the way for the diverse marine life we see today."
