Not sure why Helen Mirren agreed to do this. Too little of the animals and too much of the crass comments, not suitable for children.
Expected nature show , did not like comments, not funny at all.
Oh wow, I cringed through the whole thing. I’m embarrassed for Helen Mirren
Not at all what I expected…photography beautiful, but silly voice overs took the pleasure away from watching the show.
Footage is beautiful and concept has potential to be hilarious, but it needs a better script; it’s not funny. Delivery needs work. The voices are silly and the lines are thrown away so it doesn’t feel like the animals are actually having a conversation. If the comedians’ delivery was that of people talking and if the script was improved, this program would be a comedic and visual success.
Most imbecilic TV program I’ve ever seen! Thought this was going to be a nature documentary! Children will most likely think this is so so lame & insulting! Get rid of this joke of a show!
I had been REALLY looking forward to watching this series and couldn’t have been more disappointed!
I actually feel sorry for the creators who thought that the show was funny. It’s not.
In addition, some of the language is highly inappropriate.
Boring! A waste. Needs to go away.
Nice to see all the animals but the narration and comments were stupid and weird. The sexual actions were not necessary
Was so looking forward to this nature show. Scenery is beautiful. Helen Mirren is good but the comments for animals are really dumb and so unnecessary! Takes away from the quality of the show! Disappointing!!
I love Helen Mirren, but I think she made a mistake getting involved with this series. I agree that the sexual innuendo were cemetery inappropriate. The dialog was patently silly. Nothing much redeeming here except the beautiful photography.
When nature calls first episode: not worth watching. Script of animals lame and inappropriate.
Disappointed with the stupid comments. I wanted to see a nature show, not one laced with sexual innuendoes that are embarrassing as I watch with my children.
To be honest, I’m not sure what I expected, but it definitely wasn’t this. It was pretty weird and actually boring.
I think it should be cancelled. I would rather watch this kind of program on Nature of Things or National Geographic.
