There's so much garbage content on TV these days. Then you see a show like this that makes you gasp, feel emotions, and just stare in wonder at this amazing continent. It becomes very clear that animals are the most amazing creatures that deserve every ounce of our respect and protection. I was very emotionally moved by the whole series. Seeing never before seen footage and even getting involved in the emotional battles of a little beetle. All God's creatures, great and small. I'm grateful that this production was brought to our TV screens. The producers, film crew, biologists, researchers, Tom Hanks and the REAL stars (the animals), all deserve to be recognized and awarded the highest honor for this masterpiece.

I feel embarrassed for all these actors performing this dog and pony show of ridiculousness and debauchery in equal measure. It could have been very interesting to depict this period of time with even an eye dropper full of realism. I'm starting to believe Taylor Sheridan has literally "lost the plot". 8.3?! How does House of David only have a 7, while this horse excrement is over 8? Is he paying for fake reviews?

The good: promoted shelter adoptions, and how taking the focus off yourself and helping others (including dogs and cats) help make you happier and cures loneliness. Story was well written, and flowed well.

The bad: only showed fluffy purebreds that look like they literally stepped out of fancy dog shows. I love that they promoted adoption, but wish they had shown actual lovable shelter dogs. While there are purebreds in shelters, you much more commonly see terrier breeds. Seniors, black dogs, and cats, Heinz 57s-- all who are just as adorable and lovable and need homes the most.

And as everyone else mentioned, while the actors were attractive and likable enough, they were not good actors. Not by a long stretch. It was watchable only because they seemed pleasant, but lacked any sort of emotion or acting abilities.

Conclusion: I had to give it a higher grade because I love any movie that features animals and presents the idea of adopting an animal from a shelter. This movie's writers's heart was in the right place.

Merry Christmas!
