A drama series about ancient Rome and a reality show about bears round out this month's Peacock highlights
Can a bear be on a reality show? For the brown bears of Alaska's Katmai National Park, just because they don't know they are in a reality show competition doesn't mean it isn't happening This three-episode series applies the style and approach of reality TV to nature documentary content, and follows the bears as they prepare for hibernation
"Our Flag Means Death" star Rhys Darby provides a comedic commentary on the bears' efforts to prepare for a very long nap The show gives points for "meatiness, ingenuity, and guts" to the bears as they attempt to gain nearly 200 pounds for hibernation For fans of the reality show, this is a hilarious and informative way to experience the wonders of nature
