Nice pictures, but not that deadly
jensnolting17 August 2019
Nice footage but, come on... they are using many cutes and different angles to suggest danger or anything. The main guy is always all about saying how dangerous everything is. But really, it is not. Way too much fake and acting. Just show the nice and beautiful nature and animals and stop telling us how dangerous everything is. That's what I really don't like about these Typ of American documentaries. Normal nature is not enough. And always filming the guy alone on his boat against all odds and so dangerous. But who is filming you all day? 😄

Interesting idea but....

Thought this had really interesting potential when I read the premise but after watching a couple of episodes it seems everything is done just for dramatic effect. The presenter constantly talks on the exhale and seems to want to be more of an action hero than a biologist. His knowledge of the subject seems very basic and if you watch nature shows in general he's not telling you anything you don't already know and goes chasing after animals trying to make out it is a deadly situation when it isn't as the camera is already in position before he makes his dramatic move. Trying to be a nature presenter with a Jason Statham vibe.

So much drama for standard shots.

He's no David Attenborough, that's for certain!

There is far too much making out how dangerous it is, and dramatic 'running' shots to make it look as if he's missing something sudden happening when if he was really doing this properly, it's actually exactly what he's looking for and expecting, so why the surprise and the foul language which has no place in a nature documentary.
