This released in burgerland about a week ago.
I've only seen two episodes so far; I skipped episode 1 because the stuff regarding it in the promo material looked genuinely fucking terrible (Edmontosaurus chewing side-to-side, T. rex ignoring the adult triceratops threatening it in it's face to expose it's flank and go after a baby, the animations freezing, etc.) and started with episode 2 to see if the others were good.
First, I think people were right in saying that this is much more like a sequel to Dinosaur Planet than it is to Walking With Dinosaurs. Named protagonists with a bit of anthropomorphism, intercut with modern paleontologists.
As such I knew in advance to not judge it as a Walking With Dinosaurs (1999) successor and just try viewing it as it's own thing.
I really liked episode 2. The spinosaurus design is brilliant, with it looking equal parts awkward and proud. Sobek as a protagonist is fantastic. It's going to sound cringe, but focusing on an overwhelmed single dad calls to me as a pet owner. Finally getting a scene of an Azhdarchid hunting in a forest of thin spindly trees was also just plain perfect, particularly with what the stakes were. I didn't even mind the modern paleontologist scenes since spinosaurus is such a little understood animal, and Morocco is foreign enough to be exciting. The scale on the shots was also well done, and I appreciated it more seeing what went into the episode's special effects at the end.
My main problems would be that the fully underwater scenes looked terrible, and Sobek's death is a bit questionable; I can't see one spinosaurus delivering a fatal bite against another just to try and steal it's fish. Not only that but their claws were longer than their teeth, so Sobek should have done more damage than the older male.
Not even a spinofag, by the way.
