La vie en couleurs avec David Attenborough

This has the science backing up the facts and has some intreging new technology to show the way colours are seen in nature.

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.

Let me start off by saying that this is a fine documentary in the standard Attenborough-style. However the first episode, which is also the most important to get people to watch the rest is the worst of the three. It is a tad repetitive and there are a lot of scenarios avid documentary viewers will already have seen.

Episode rating for me is like this. Ep1: 7, ep2: 8 and ep3: 8.5, end result is an 8 overall.

People that haven't seen as many documentaries will be able to get more out of this series, but for me it doesn't reach the same heights as series like Planet Earth or Our Planet. Don't get me wrong, this is still a competent and enjoyable show which I do recommend.

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.
