Beautiful, but the music...
24 March 2024
I've listened to and watched David Attenborough for decades, and every series in the last few years has been wonderful visually, taking us to places on our planet that we could never hope to visit and experience. I love Attenborough's voice too. But..it is spoiled by the droning, almost constant banal orchestral strings, wearing me out while watching. Add to that, the dramatic music when a shoal of fish gets attacked is straight from dramas when a SWAT team moves in. Ambient sound is best, but I don't mind some created sound effects like swooshing water, but a crashing booming thud when a tiny lifeform grabs some prey is ridiculous. So, sometimes it's just subtitles for me.
