The 5 Must-See Series on the National Geographic Channel

Many of us watch the National Geographic Channel with utter amazement with all that Mother Nature offers us in this world. This can vary from the smallest spiders to the largest animals that roam the Earth.

There are 5 series on the National Geographic Channel that stand out the most to me.

Wild

Welcome to the home of all things that move! This show features the most interesting, yet deadliest animals that roam our planet. This show features some of the most untamed creatures shown in their native habitats. Every episode gives us an in-depth view of an individual type of animal. This show is for anyone who wants to sit down and take a guided tour of amazing animals living in amazing locations. This show features some of the most brilliant zoologists, which helps add to the richness of the show. The episode that stands out the most for me features Hippos, giving the average person a new wealth of knowledge on these surprisingly deadly creatures.

Taboo

Taboo takes us on a journey to different cultures all across the globe. It takes us beyond our comfort zones and across cultural borders as it explores the rituals and customs that are unique to their respective cultures, but may not be accepted in all areas in our world. You will see many different kinds of customs that will strike you as bizarre, but are usual practices in their lands. My favorite episode features Native Americans, and shows us the different rituals that occur in their lifestyle that may seem barbaric to some. I recommend this show to anyone that is open to different cultures, and is curious about learning more about other cultures.

Locked Up Abroad

What is your worst nightmare? Well, this series gives us true stories of individuals that have ended up far from home, in foreign countries in a dilemma beyond their worst nightmares. From travelers who broke unknown laws, and found themselves behind bars, to an adventurer who went too far off the beaten track and found himself in a deadly situation, this show exposes the many dangers that lurk in foreign lands. I recommend this to people who travel a lot since it exposes many unknown laws that you have to be careful about.

Naked Science

Ever thought about how the universe was born? Naked Science takes us through scientific investigations and into one of the biggest mysteries of our time. It features experts who conduct experiments and perform realistic scenarios that accept or reject many common ideologies in our society. I recommend this for people who are curious in science and space.

Lockdown

This series takes us through the lives of individuals that are sent to various correctional facilities around the country and help us get a perspective of the brutal life behind bars. The episodes feature the lives of people who have done harm in our society, and go through their daily lives as they try to survive the experience of life in prison. This show is very interesting since it takes us to locations that we all hope to avoid in our lives. I like this show since it helps the individuals become better citizens of society as they begin to leave the prison system. I recommend this show to just about anyone interested in the prison system in America. My favorite episode features youth in a juvenile correctional facility. It gives us a view of an unexplored part of society.
