2/10

What has happened at the BBC these past few years? This documentary is absurd and I suppose is intended for 5 year olds. They fall into the usual trope of the TRex as the big bad guy. It's grown tiresome and I can't believe they're putting this rubbish out as a finished product. I miss the old show from when I was little, that was high quality!

I do like the narrator's other work, but the dialogue they gave him is really awful. Tired, boring, and really cheap.

2/10 would NOT recommend.

You've reached the end.
