When it comes to movies and shows featuring some of my favorite actors, deciding whether to press play is usually pretty easy. It’s almost always a yes. That said, historical documentaries aren’t typically at the top of my watch list. But add Morgan Freeman’s instantly recognizable, calming narration into the mix? Suddenly that “maybe” becomes an automatic yes. And it seems I’m not the only one who feels that way. The Dinosaurs, narrated by Freeman, is currently sitting at number two on Netflix’s Top 10 list.
The series is an American nature documentary miniseries executive-produced by Steven Spielberg. Across four episodes, The Dinosaurs explores the fascinating history of dinosaurs, from their first appearance during the Triassic period all the way to their extinction in the Cretaceous–Paleogene event.
