David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet - review

A Life on Our Planet is a touching and compelling testimonial by David Attenborough. He is probably one of the men who better know our world. I used to watch his documentaries since I was a little girl. Now, once more, I was fascinated by the experiences (and warnings) Sir Attenborough has to us.

This documentary shows how everything is connected in the wild world and how one single action can be disastrous to it - even before you notice it. In fact, he tells us how he had no idea of the pieces of evidence that were right in front of his eyes when he was younger.

Wilderness is his home

David Attenborough is a legend of biology, and his voice makes us travel. It is magnificent the way he is willingly sharing with us his amazing experience within the natural world. It fascinates me.

Did you know that the mass destruction that ended the dinosaurs wasn’t a unique event? It was the 5th time that our planet witnessed the destruction of entire ecosystems. I had no idea.

The decline of the world in a lifetime

In this film, Attenborough assumes the position of a mediator between the human race and nature. He warns us of how our choices can have such an extreme impact on our world.

This is an emotional and sad testimonial. It gives us some very powerful images that will, perhaps for the first time, give you the real notion of what we did to this Earth.

It is quite terrifying what is expecting us in the near future if we keep going down this road. Yet, David Attenborough is an optimistic, and that’s the best part of the documentary. He is not only making sound the horn of Apocalypse as many others. He gives solutions, practical and doable solutions. He inspires us to take the right path.

Let’s start now!

There is still time to stop the destruction. There is still time to recover. But not much.

I think that those who are still not giving the attention the climate crisis deserves should keep in mind this powerful message:

“This is not about saving our planet. This is about saving ourselves.”

It’s time to start working on that.

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV. A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth. Mary (Sheldon's religious yet compassionate mother), George (his often misunderstood father), and his siblings, Missy and Georgie, are all given their own moments to shine. The cast and their chemistry make this show stand out. You start to care about each character's struggles and triumphs. This show quickly stands on its own as a heartfelt, family-driven sitcom. Especially in its last seasons, the show becomes a touching portrayal of small-town life, family dynamics, and persona...

Emily in Paris 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Unrealistic

The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why. We start the season with Emily’s life in perfect chaos, and she doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She never does… Is this good for the plot? Maybe. Is this annoying? Sometimes. So… why can’t we stop watching it? Are you feeling frustrated? Me too. She doesn’t know what she wants. She can’t make a decision, not in her love life, not in her job… And it is not because she wants it all. She is not mature enough to say no and own her decision and its consequences. Emily comes across as a spoiled little girl. The problem is that she is the main character, yet, Mindy starts to feel way more interesting than her. Also, any other character on the show is funnier than Emily, namely her co-workers, who apparently are very bad at their jobs and need her to save them with every single client… How did they keep the company...

Gender, Power, and Cigarettes: Why 'Mad Men' Still Resonates

Mad Men is a masterpiece of television that blends sharp storytelling with striking period detail, offering a reflective glimpse into the 1960s. The series follows Don Draper and the high-stakes world of Madison Avenue advertising, all while painting a vivid picture of the era's societal norms, especially the rampant sexism and rigid gender roles. It's both mesmerizing and infuriating, particularly in its honest depiction of how women were treated. Strong Emotions The show’s brilliance lies in its ability to evoke strong emotions—its subtlety, exceptional writing, and rich characters draw you into a world that feels both foreign and disturbingly recent. The meticulously crafted period aesthetics are complemented by historical undercurrents, from civil rights to cultural shifts, which remain integral yet never overshadow the deeply personal dramas of the characters. Wait For the Impact Mad Men doesn’t rely on flashy plot twists; instead, it uses nuanced storyte...
