H2O: l'eau, la vie et nous

Really terrible waste of money. Low grade American product. Why did the BBC waste money on this. The BBC can make good documentaries - why buy rubbish from the USA?

More later but this is a must see. A wholistic view of the water cycle. Yes I am a water scientist. Enjoy and share. This is PBS at it's best.

This is obviously an important topic, but could you present it better? Unbelievably dull. I tried to watch it 3 times because it's obvious how important the work is, but I fell asleep each time. Tried to enlist my wife. She dropped off too.

I submitted this as feedback to our broadcaster in the UK (to whom we MUST pay a fee each year) so here you are:

A show about the origins of the elixir of life... with an awful, patronising narrator. It seems like you have spent some of my contribution to the BBC on importing this drivel from PBS. The first 10 minutes, I learned that water is a molecule, and it might be one of the most important molecules. Right, thanks. She mentioned this was in the style of a podcast, it's worse. Some have a face for radio (or podcasts), she has a voice, and a manner, for silence. This is BBC Four, not primary four. Water can make things grow in a desert. Knowledge like that is a good use of the money I paid to you. Maybe this is someone's school project, or one of the unpaid interns you have working for you made it, but please check what you're spending my money on. This is absolutely awful. Thought I might have learned something, but no. I knew already that trees need water.

This was hard to listen to with such a terrible narrator. Luckily it's an important topic and an important topic.

Water is such an important topic and this series shows this from many angles.

Still - I wish they'd chosen a narrator that was less grating to listen to.
