La vida a color con David Attenborough

It feels like this whole series was just edited lazily. The third episode should have been incorporated into the other two, but instead is repetitive, containing the same exact species, cuts, information and dialogues, with a bit of a "behind the scenes ". It just doesn't seem right.

This felt more like a fluff piece, but its better then nothing. Beautiful photage as always and the background music score was kept a bit more subtle and not (blasting and over the top as in the latest planet earth series) so we could enjoy the photage in peace.

David Attenborough hosts this Netflix nature doc on how creatures use colors to survive and thrive. It seems to be an obvious subject matter for a nature TV show. In addition to the obvious, I do learn some things. I didn't know that a tiger's orange coloring blends in with the green background and the color blind prey. So far, there're only three episodes. There should be more to this subject matter.

It's my first time watching a nature documentary and maybe this is why I found this one so attractive. But "attractive" wasn't the only thought. It was an amazing experience. I loved every single detail. It's interesting and full of colour. I really enjoyed it.

I'm a sucker for anything Attenborough and this short two-part documentary sees him anciently roaming the land like a wonderful turtle and taking in the multifarious ways that colour affects life in the animal world. It's unclear if the brevity of the series was due to real life goings-on but even two short hours of it is lovely - darting from species to species like a magical "animal colour facts" greatest hits. The obligatory 10-minute behind the scenes bits are quite unbalanced as always but it's easy to forgive when our beloved turtle pops up so frequently here. The world will be a far less colourful place without him.
