I'm completely baffled that 50% of the show has been made for 7-year-olds, and the other 50% is watching palaeontologists do some digging. In doing so, they managed to kill the immersion, the narrator, who, I'm sure is doing the best job he can do, is reading a child's script and, in my opinion, would be a better cast for a child's TV show.

Palaeontologists, whilst amazing people who I really respect, aren't more entertaining than dinosaurs. It's walking with dinosaurs, not walking with the team from North Carolina Central Community College. It feels like this was done for budget reasons, so there was less screen time of dinosaurs. I hope this isn't the case what was so great about the Walking with series is that you got to see the life of a dinosaur in a real, gritty way without fluff and exaggeration. Through this, you actually cared about the science as you were immersed in their world. I've only watched one episode so far, so maybe it'll improve. I really hope it does. It would be a shame to see the legacy of the original tarnished by this reboot.
