What TV shows are people watching?

Essential viewing for anyone who likes nature documentaries. Made by the same team behind Planet Earth (BBC), features the legendary David Attenborough in top form, has plenty of goosebump visual moments and strikes just the right balance between depressing (we are destroying the planet) and hopeful (there is hope if we start doing something about it now).

So it's catering to liberals who want to feel like we can still kick the can down the road?

I've made an earnest effort to watch Love, Death and Robots on Netflix. Got to 10/18 episodes before deciding this product is not for me. Lots of gore, tits, violence, some dark fantasy and sci-fi. Animation is mostly standard, galaxies removed from the brilliant Animatrix, and only a few stories were interesting. Meant for and made by heterosexual men stuck in the past (based or inspired by Heavy metal from the 80s). 2/5

Different cuts of our jibs I guess.

It was a good distraction for me while I suffered in silence. The CGI throughout was what intrigued me the most though. I've always aspired to get to that level of animating, but I'm still just a low level wannabe with just enough Maya knowledge to impress my friends. Sometimes even thats a bit of a stretch.

Yeah the CGI is super impressive, it's just that the style of animation is rather standard. I appreciate more creativity in that sense than pure technical ability.

Anyway, it's not for everyone. Didn't click for me.

Yes that one was quite the gem. I should give it another go.
