Weird Wonders of the World

The information is incredible, but the way it is portrayed is incredibly annoying and over dramatic.

Perfect for opening kids minds to the wonders around all of us. Teaching them to ask "Why," and in the process developing a more inquisitive approach to the world that surrounds them.

Also, an ideal counterpoint, to what fills the 300 channels that fill the airways. My highest recommendation, for all. Give it 30 minutes and you'll know if its for you. I think you'll be fascinated by a parade of things you never stopped to think about. Enjoy! .

There isn't a bad episode in the entire lot. In fact, every episode is good. Very solid...I did not know about 85% of the stuff there. They often set it up like a mystery...there is some weird thing going on and why is it happening? They throw a couple of logical theories, but that isn't it. Then they tell you what it is usually. I have seen lots of the highly rated nature shows and I put this as my favorite of that genre...but it isn't strictly nature like Life or Planet Earth. For some reason this does not get much love. My 7 year old picked this one out on Netflix and I have to say...I really enjoy watching it. Some of the people on the Netflix review board commented on the narrator. He kind of has a talking to kids vibe and it probably is a kids type show. But I really like this show and after every show I watch...I'll be like...man there still hasn't been a lame show yet. I really like this show and I cannot recommend it highly enough if you are interested in weird nature type shows. I conceivably could give it a 10, but I reserve those for Game of Thrones type situations.
