This NatGeo-branded feature is far, far below the historical standard of NG productions. For one, the video is surprisingly bad: shaky cameras, not particularly sharp film segments, and repeated subjects, suggesting a lack of sufficient content. In addition, the 47-minute feature includes amazingly little science for such a rich subject, and what's there is imprecise (if not wrong): e.g., a young sea otter is described as having an "inherited taste" from its mother. What exactly does that mean? While the program shows some variety of wildlife (nowhere nearly enough...lack of budget?), few species are actually named. The writing belies a lack of scientific understanding and a paucity of local natural history knowledge. Finally, the gratuitous scenes of a millipede and perhaps reptile (not identified, as usual) eggs burning, not to mention dead and rotting sea lion corpses, was enough for this bored, frustrated, and disgusted father to turn the poorly written and even worse produced so-called "documentary" off.
