    The characters are like able. The animals are fun to watch. The animal science fiction and nonfictional facts are interesting. Super impressed with the animal actors. Nora Arnezeder's role as an agent is hard to watch. The suspenseful story line and ever changing scenery keeps me watching

    Not perfect by far, but the story is quite good and the characters are written as if they are able to think on their feet. The "mistakes" that the characters make are very much in keeping with who they are and the goals they want to attain.

    One of our favorite shows. Good acting and a new and interesting story line so far. Ends with "I'm open to suggestions" being said and if the writers can write thier way out of this it would be worthy of another season.

    Great characters, a fun fresh idea (I've seen hundreds of animal horror or animal action movies, but never one with the whole world's animals and insects banding together vs humanity)- the plot is a little muddy here or there but it's a solid show and you should watch it. Lots of action, comedic moments, character growth, good lore, etc.

    When I started watching the show it was interesting and I was intrigued to watch more of it and I completed the first season that way. The show's storyline was an ongoing story which I loved and it made sense to me as I watched more episodes into the season. I love all the characters and their roles in the story. Season 1 was epic and awesome.

    This show is hilarious. If you like cheese and goofy animal attacks you should give it a watch. The humor is not apparently intentional but it's glorious.

    Great series. Something entirely new which we have not seen before.
    I love most of the characters in the series, and the character development is great.

    Me encanta la serie, la verdad que es intrigante, siempre imagine que los animales algún día se levantarían para retomar lo que es suyo. Muy bueno, buenos actores. Muchos paisajes y muchos animales. Brinda mucha información que nutre al televidente de buen conocimiento. No es una serie para cualquiera.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. the plot is good and keeps you thinking. it brings twists that make you wonder wtf. the idea of the animals and humans adapting and evolving is a great scientific approach that it's not merely science fiction but indeed a possibility in the future. it's organized and written well. brings logic into play. the end of the second season actually pissed me off but it was a great twist that i'll look forward to watching in the 3rd season. 8/10 for some minor fixes of small things that fell through the cracks such as the girls dog who was taking the raidon global drugs but was never affected like so many other animals. and they did a great job explaining the animals normal and abnormal behavior, i actually learned some things watching this. plus for education bits.… Expand

    It's slightly better than a cheesy SyFy movie... But the story and acting is still good enough to binge on Netflix. Also, I'm really hoping someone is killed by a squad of murderous penguins.

    While the pilot script excels in efficient plot building, it lags in dialogue and character development.

    As with many a Patterson thriller, the breathless pace and spine-tingling what-ifs make it easy to get caught up despite your well-founded reservations.

    The story will grab you, as we slowly see the animals begin asserting their control and the humans at a total loss as to what to do about it.
