La Terre, la nuit

The visuals are gorgeous. I was perennially covered in goosebumps and streaming tears over the beauty, the fragility, the wonder of it all. BUT that required an extreme exercise in blocking out the narrator, in fact several times I muted the TV and played classical music instead. She nearly put me into a depression bordering on coma. She sounds like a severely depressed robot even during delightful or high action scenes. She could not possibly drone on more uninterestingly if that had been her plan. In short, gorgeous nature show ruined by the narrator. Can't imagine who she auditioned for that thought she was even remotely a good choice, much less the "winner" for the job. As you can see, this review barely mentions the beautiful visuals and carries on all about the narrator... THAT'S HOW BAD SHE IS.

The photography is 10 out of 10. The narrative is excellent. What ruins this series is the melodramatic voice of the narrator. She's incredibly distracting and annoying.

I watched one episode, it was better than I expected. Well, it is not National Geographic's or BBC's. But it is deserves watching and thumps up. Don't compare the young narrator to Attenborough's because in my opinion he is out of comparison in this field (again, it is my own opinion).

Truly fantastic imagery, but in no way I could stand listening to the narrator. I had to turn off the sound on the TV and play slow background music from my stereo while watching.

Why does the narrative have to be sooo dramatic! I couldn't even get through the first episode. Might try it on mute with music some time.
