About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a visually striking, after-dark wildlife series with a strong storytelling style, similar to Our Planet; not for you if you prefer calmer narration or more fact-focused episodes.
Pros: stunning night footage; fresh nighttime perspective; some interesting facts | Cons: overly dramatic narration; too much focus on tech; uneven, noisy soundtrack
