Dinosaurs - on Netflix

2 episodes in, I’m really liking how they break down the evolution of the dinosaur from its beginning (amazing that reptiles have been dominant for such a long time too, go gators haha)

I can’t tell you how long I’ve been laughing at this Jesus

I watched tonight. A couple of notes.

You can really hear that age is catching up to Morgan freeman in his voice. Still good, but time is undefeated.

The script they gave Freeman to read wasn’t great. It was way too sensationalist with stuff like “monster” this and “nightmare” that.

They moved really really fast through everything. They introduce something and less than a minute later it was the last one and now it’s dead. For instance, stegosaurs. It was here’s stegosaurus, she’s the last of her kind because she has no food. 15 million years later and here’s a different dinosaur.

They tried to give individual back stories to some of the dinosaurs, but it was so quick to introduce and move that you don’t even have time to care.

For a show about dinosaurs it focused on the world, plants, trees, etc too much. It feels like more than 50% of the show didn’t even have dinosaurs in it and only landscape. They would spend an entire minutes or 2 with the earth just flying through space. Or 3 or 4 minutes at a time just showing plants.

Goodness- just don’t watch it, if you have that many issues with it

This doesn’t even make any sense.
All my critiques were actually about the show. How would I have a critique without watching it? Incant unwatch it.And nothing I said was untrue.

I like watching dinosaur stuff so I’ll watch it whatever gets put out. That doesn’t mean I have to blindly like the choices they make in production.

At least they didn't say the dinosaurs all turned gay and that's why they are extinct.

Do they mention the thousands of extreme climate change events that wiped them out over millions of years, prior to the industrial revolution?

I read "Dinosaurs" and immediately heard "not the mama..."

How accurate do you guys think the behavior/hunting habits of the dinosaurs were?

I was amazed watching the one dinosaur in the water eating what appeared to be great whites!!!

Everything from constant “rawrs!” to signs of intelligence and empathy between a parent and its offspring… Totally Hollywood.

Scientist study living animals today and still don’t know everything. To think that they can reconstruct day-to-day behavioral activity from an animal extinct hundred million plus years ago is hilarious.

Yes, they do get some things right or at least ballpark area. But nothing nearly enough to fill a 60 minute episode with. Or a series.
