Beautiful nature and fascinating creatures are blotted with glaringly unfunny animal "dialogue" and infantile jokes. Helen Mirren is wasted--like my time lost trying to watch this schlock. This is a worse than dismal imitation of "BBC Talking Animals"-go watch that for free on YouTube instead.

I'm embarrassed for Helen Miren to have her name attached to this tragedy. The video is beautiful, but the narrative script is awful, and the voice overs are both juvenile and sophomoric. Deleted from my DVR after 15 minutes.

Maybe this is catered to toddlers. I didn't find it interesting or funny. Won't tune in again.

This show could not be any worse. Seeing the cute animals on the commercials and knowing that Helen Mirrren looked appealing. Can we sue for false advertising? The inane "dialogue" of the animals was just ridiculous. I think we made it less than 5 minutes in beore I erased it and deleted it from the recording schedule. Life is too short to waste it on this drivel.

I love nature shows and have never given a nature show a bad rating. This show however is irredeemable. The videos say nothing of the animals it captures and are ruined by nonsensical voice overs. If it was at least funny or witty it wouldn't be so bad.

C'mon Dame Mirren. You can do better. This could've been a interesting show... but the stupid voice-overs of the animals giving them "human" personalities, makes the whole show a joke.

We like nature documentaries, so we started watching this one. This is an embarrassment to whomever produced this. It is not funny. It is not informative.

Nothing funny. Just stupid. Let's take magnificent nature and ruin it. Sheesh.

Unwatchable with the sound on, unbelievable that Hellen could lend her name to such utter drivel.

When you have to bleep dialogue for language on a show geared for entertaining children (animals doing funny things) you know you have a complete failure on your hands.

I bet the executives that green lit this mysteriously keep their job too.

With all the downers and disasters, this is a welcome break. I love the mix of silly, serious, stunning photography and commentary on what is really human nonsense. Well done!

And a great waste of the time. I was looking forward to this and then......childish, embarrassing, irritating narration. Absolutely hated it.

Beautiful locations and interesting animals ruined by constant annoying not funny voice over. Maybe watching it while on mute can help with the pain. Didn't do it for me.

I love comedy stuff. I hadn't heard of this show but when I turned on my TV it was just starting. Wasn't sure what it was. It was nature footage with an audio voiced by celebrities. All to be comical as animals talk. But the dialogue is stupid and not even funny. I cringe every time they try to be "funny".

I looked up on my phone is if was aimed towards kids as it seemed to be. WHAT? It's made for the family but also rated TV-14? There's even some swearing in it (all be it beeped). Who created this dumpster fire of a comedy? What are the drinking at ABC? How in the world is this a series and please don't tell me there will be a season 2. I feel like I lost enough brain cells just watching it for 15 minutes.

Save your time and brain cells and skip this. Unless you like comedy that seems to be made for someone around the age of 5. I think even a kid would be bored or overstimulated by all that's going on.

The photography is amazing but the goofy voices are absolutely not funny. I'm surprised Helen Mirren would sign on to such a boring disaster of a show. Have deleted from recording it further.

Could even get through 5 minutes before I had to change it. Absolutely cringe level 10. Only reason I watched the couple minutes I did is because I refused to believe how terrible the show was. Easily the worst prime time show I can remember witnessing.

So far, this show is not good. It's "comedic" material is mostly adult, but the execution is so childish! It's as if the show is made for 4 year olds watching with their 50 year old alcoholic parents. The self aware commentary of Helen Mirren makes me cringe so hard. This show could be good if they established an audience and made it funny. At it's current state, it has no value to anyone.

Makes me laugh. Not necessarily for children and not what I would call educational. There is however lots of wit, sarcasm, and adult humor. A must watch!

None of this was funny. It seemed like something a kindergartner would watch but it obviously did something inappropriate to warrant a TV-14 rating. The voice actors are good and I liked the animals though.

What possessed Helen Mirren to get involved in this? It's NOT funny in any way in fact it may have the most cringeworthy "jokes" I have ever heard. Just horrible. The animal and scenery footage is really breathtaking but one can find such footage on places like Nat Geo. Will not be watching again.

I had this on in the background after a show I had recorded was finished. I love animal videos or documentaries of wildlife. Comedy, yes! Stand up, yes!

What even is this? Who approved this show to be aired on live TV? This is why people in nations abroad, think that Americans are morons. This entire show is a travesty.

...because this show is an insult to all animals and all other viewers think so, too. This show teaches whoever can stand watching it to disrespect animals which then leads to abuse. Mirren has been going downhill, I think all of that attention she got for being beautiful (she isn't) want to her head. She just really has gone down. Stop disrespecting animals.
