Why does PBS feel it necessary to hire actors to narrate in a boring, sleepy, emotionless monotone?
Uma Thurman may be a decent actor, but she is just going through the motions here. Just another payday for her, apparently.
Surely, she can fake some emotion, some excitement. She's a professional actor!
Even better, though, why not hire an actual naturalist who has some passion for the subject, some actual knowledge of the subject beyond merely reading a script?
The show itself was well done; videography was great. Spectacular scenery. Assuming you can stay awake for it, that is.
Show itself: 8 out of 10 Narration: 0 out of 10.
On balance: 4 out of 10.
