I got about halfway through this before I could take no more. When did we start ascribing a sex to the elements? Most of the interviewees insisted on referring to Carbon as 'her'. I have never, ever, thought of chemicals as being either male or female. Very irritating & unnecessary. This was far too simplified to be of use to most people except perhaps children.

Yes please. This is what documentaries should be like, I am so tired of endless 'Lions of the Serengeti' type rehashes. This was a breath of fresh air. Two young men who are interested in their subject & were surprisingly competent at dissecting insects, which I suspect is quite hard to do well. I watched this last night & then a documentary about Percy Smith who was a pioneer of nature photography. Both films were enthralling and I hope other documentary makers follow suit. I highly recommend this to anybody interested to find out how insects work at an anatomical level.

I watch practically no television at all but I caught this recently & was very pleasantly surprised. An entertaining antidote to the malignant lies & outright laziness in the media. Covered quite a few topics I knew very little about. I hope there will be more seasons. Good job by all involved.
