Hollywood does nature, #TheAmericas Five years in the making, for the MAGAs with five minute attention spans.
Soundtrack completely overwhelms the narration…but even without it, Mr Hanks’ voice is too soporific.
What a disappointment, #BBCNaturalHistoryUnit 👎

Still from The Green Planet, Episode 4: “Desert Worlds.” A still showing a close-up of a sprouting little tristerix seed, which a fruit-eating hummingbird just defecated onto a hedgehog cactus. A tibular, red probe extents out of the seed (an elongated sphere the color of mucous) resting on a cactus spine. It will reach around to try to latch onto the cactus’s skin. After nightfall the cactus’s pores open and it can enter and live off the water inside. After a year, it blooms into a red flower whose fruit is a type of mistletoe. Hummingbirds drink nectar from it.

—which is also surely some of the best looking HD video out there at the consumer level, period— is telling familiar stories in new ways and still packing surprises every episode.

I just love it so much!
