If you're looking to fill the nature show-shaped void in your life while you wait for David Attenborough's next epic series (c'mon Dave, you're slacking), let us direct your attention to Absurd Planet, currently streaming on Netflix.

In fact, people are calling it one of the most "chaotic", "bonkers" and "bizarre" science series to ever air.
The series, which offers an insight into the lives of the planet's most intriguing animals, is narrated by Mother Nature herself (voiced by Afi Ekulona) alongside a quirky cast of animal characters.
A removal from Attenborough's fact-heavy nature offerings, with Absurd Planet, you'll get sitcom style animal banter, riske musings from Mother Nature and even musical numbers. We did warn you it was mad.
