I enjoy watching wildlife documentaries very much. I know they're not exactly what you'd call high art, but they can be very relaxing and entertaining if you're in the right mood for them (if nothing else, it sure makes for some calming viewing). Even if I'm not always paying full attention, I'll still pop one on to play in the background because it provides me with a better room ambiance, as well as an enriching academic experience.
So when I found out about this one it got me really exited because it's set on the tropical Galápagos Islands, home of the weird and wonderful! The three-part documentary miniseries includes some of the island's most famous oddities such as; titanic tortoises, insatiable iguanas, fluttering finches, bombastic blue-footed boobies, and many more... just to name a few (you do get a generous variety of animal species, I must say).
I highly recommend it to all nature enthusiasts everywhere, especially if you like listening to Tilda Swinton's soft-spoken voiceover (no offence to David Attenborough's narrations). I guarantee it won't disappoint.
