You cannot fault the visuals, it truly is amazing. And the probable life-like stories they tell around the animals are good, but there's something about this series that leaves you feeling too skeptical to really immerse yourself, and I believe I know why.
I would have much preferred that with each introduction of the animals, they give some brief examples of HOW they knew, or came to deduct, certain traits about that animals. For example, tell us that they knew so-and-so-osaur probably laid eggs in volcanic creators because maybe fossilized eggs were found in them... and that they had feathers because they found imprints in fossils.. and that they might have done this mating dance based on their decorative horns and that birds today also do this. Essentially, help us understand what is based in scientific deduction and what is just pure assumption. Because unless you're a dinosaur expert, you're often just left feeling this might all be made up, and it sort of ruins the realism you're trying to feel for this...
That's my 2 cents.
