Jill B 11/16/2023 This was truly wonderful, as most of his programmes arec See more cem y 07/21/2021 If I see David Attenborough's name on the poster of a documentary, that's it!! It is the only motive to watch that piece. This particular documentary is awesome! I am very glad that the technology of camera reached at a point where the world around us is transferred onto the screen with a fantastic resolution. Its emphasis on color in terms of its effects on breeding or camouflage is very intriguing and remarkable. Must watch if you like these kinds of documentaries... See more dave d 06/03/2021 It's fine. It's different, but still informative. See more johann m @Johann33 05/17/2021 Wow!! In these 3 episodes, David Attenborough explores the vital role that colour plays in the daily life of various species, as an essential tool used for survival. Colours help animals to win a mate, to fight off rivals and to warn enemies and this is revealed through technological advancements in camera equipment. Extremely interesting and stunning until the very end. See more 05/02/2021 Lovely documentary with stunning footage of colorful animals and their fascinating rituals. As interesting and enjoyable as it was, the editing needed work. The third episode was not necessary to the miniseries at all.
