[QUOTE="Firenkyo, post: 350857, member: 13569"] [ATTACH type="full" width="457px"]21806[/ATTACH] This recently came out on Disney+, and I was really excited to see a series solely about bugs! I'm pretty mixed about it, so here are my thoughts. Good - Bugs! - Nice footage - Some less popular bugs were featured - Some nice connections to integrated pest management and coexisting with harmless bugs Bad - Awkward/bad humor (in my opinion) - HEAVY species bias (4/5 episodes had ants as a main feature) - Bad CGI - Hard to immerse yourself - Kinda took a more fantastical approach like setting up a "storyline" for some bugs (nothing blatantly unrealistic, but like come on guys we know this isn't the same ant) - Only 5 episodes Overall, I wasn't the biggest fan of it unfortunately. I think my biggest issue was how annoying I found the narration (I just don't like Awkwafina in most roles she plays) and how it didn't really go over anything new (ENOUGH ANTS!!!!). I'd recommend it if you're not really that into bugs and want to see some cool guys in action! I was just hoping for a more diverse cast of bugs (I'm so sad they just did a brief segment on antlions and didn't make them one of the focuses of an episode) and to see something that I hadn't seen before.
