Only seen the first episode so far, and the cinematography is gorgeous. But I agree with the reviewer who said it lacked diversity and retained a colonial approach to this kind of documentary, and though I didn't really mind Tom Hiddleston, the pacing was ponderous, and the script itself... oy. Suffocatingly anthropomorphic. eg, the lioness didn't "abandon" her cubs. Why not simply say she is forced to leave them to hunt? It's repeatedly said that the Maasai Mara is "a last refuge", sliding in the indefinite article. Just say it plainly: it's one of the last refuges, don't try to imply it's the only one for effect. This kind of melodramatic narration, which never lets up, should have been replaced by smarter, more informative text. I'm curious to to see Night on Earth now, as that uses similar technology.
