The only good nature shows are produced by the BBC, which is generally good outside of news.
Reminds me of a segment from Blue Planet II, where they show a fish that changes gender, but portray it as the most terrifying shit ever, horror music included
I tried watching Nature's Greatest Events last week and it was horrifying. It showed a cuddly polar bear mum and cubs struggling with breaking ice sheets as summer approached in Antarctica. Attenborough remarks how climate change and shrinking ice is making it difficult for polar bears to hunt.
The documentary was shot a decade and a half ago. I hope things aren't much worse them but I felt really really guilty watching that.
