Is there such a thing as too many documentaries about dinosaurs?
While the adult inside me muses that, like anything when too much of something is not always a good thing, that might well be the case, my dino-loving child is dancing excitedly around, exultantly saying “Of course not!”
And honestly, the trailer for The Dinosaurs does suggest that there well could be room for another series on the “terrible lizards” that dominated life on our planet for so many millions of years.
Regardless of what the cautious adult in me may wonder, my inner child is going to make absolutely sure that I am sitting down on 6 March, the Netflix streaming app, ready to see if there is indeed anything new under the dinosauric sun.
The Dinosaurs premieres on Netflix on 6 March.
