Our Great National Parks - a fascinating look over some of our planet’s most fascinating places

 



Our Great National Parks is one more documentary begging you to protect our planet. But, instead of focusing on the bad things, this time, it shows the most beautiful landscapes and fantastic animals - what you’re losing if we don’t take care of our planet. 

It shows the most wonderful places and the most unexpected curiosities about those places and their animals. It gives us a reason to fight for planet Earth.

What makes it different from all other documentaries you may have already seen? Not much, but President Obama’s narration is lovely to listen to. 

They do... what?!


This show doesn’t simply show the animals living in the chosen places. It focuses on the ones that have something out of the ordinary. Some surprising intelligent level, or bizarre behaviors, sometimes funny ones. You really want to know what comes next because you want to be surprised.

I would say that all episodes had some fascinating information. However, if I had to choose one, I’d probably go with the surfing hippos. 

The importance of having a safe place


Wild animals can’t live in our cities. They need a protected space to thrive - a place that fills all their needs. Our Great National Parks mission shows us how these places are vital to these animals (and even for us, for the sake of our meds production, for example). 

It also tells us how these parks helped recover some species that were already facing extinction. In fact, Our Great National Parks is a message of hope - our planet can still win.

A good time with Obama!


The show is great, and Obama’s narration gives it a special touch. The places were chosen because they mean something to the former US President, bringing the emotional part any show needs.

I totally recommend you to watch the whole 4 episodes.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

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 personal

The Three-Body Problem: Unexpected and Challenging

  The Three-Body Problem on Netflix is a captivating and intriguing series that delves into the realms of science fiction with a unique and thought-provoking storyline. You can't let go from the first episode, even when you feel lost in the plot. Engaging and Intriguing The show excels in drawing viewers in with its complex narrative and engaging plot development.  From the beginning, the audience is immersed in a world of mystery, suspense, and scientific concepts that challenge the imagination. The intricate web of characters and events keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Flat Ending to Anticipate Season 2 After so much suspense and mystery, the season finale was a bit disappointing. Yet, it left us wanting more. I believe that for many viewers, it heightened the excitement for what lies ahead. With the foundation laid in the initial season, there is great potential for the upcoming season to address any lingering questions and provide, once more, good entertainment. Chal
