I've been watching The Green Planet, and every single episode I've watched so far I've fallen asleep whilst watching. Normally that wouldn't be a problem with a David Attenborough narrated BBC nature show. But for some reason, plants and trees can't seem to hold my attention in the same way that animals do. Don't get me wrong, the production quality is a good as ever. But perhaps the time-lapse photography - although impressive - is a little bit weird and off-putting. The fake accompanying sound effects don't help either. And you can't empathize with a plant in the same way that you can, for example, with a meerkat.
