What To Watch On National Geographic Disney Plus
Okay, let's be real. You're scrolling through Disney Plus, right? You see the National Geographic section. Do you... immediately click? Or do you instinctively go for Marvel again?
No judgment here! We've all been there. But hear me out. Nat Geo on Disney Plus has some serious gems. Way beyond dusty documentaries.
The Animal Kingdom: Beyond the Cute
Forget those fluffy bunny videos your Aunt Carol sends. We're talking raw, untamed nature. Think lions hunting. Think snakes...snaking. You get the picture.
Must Read
"Hostile Planet" – Not for the Faint of Heart
This show? Intense. Like, edge-of-your-seat intense. Animals battling the harshest environments on Earth. Seriously, kudos to those camera people!
Unpopular opinion: "Hostile Planet" is way more thrilling than half the action movies out there. No CGI needed. Just pure, unadulterated survival.
"America the Beautiful" – Surprisingly Patriotic (and Gorgeous!)
Okay, I know, "patriotic" might sound boring. But trust me on this one. This series showcases the stunning landscapes of the US. From deserts to glaciers, it's breathtaking.
And narrated by Michael B. Jordan? Come on! The man could read a phone book and I'd be captivated.
Deep Dive (Literally) into the Ocean
Love the ocean? Afraid of the ocean? Either way, Nat Geo has you covered. From playful dolphins to the terrifying depths, it's all there.
"Secrets of the Whales" – Whale Wisdom
Whales are majestic. Whales are intelligent. This show proves it. You'll learn about their communication, their families, their whole whale-y world.
Warning: May cause sudden urge to hug a whale. (Please don't actually hug a whale.)
"Drain the Oceans" – What Lies Beneath?
Ever wondered what's hidden at the bottom of the sea? This series uses incredible CGI to "drain" the ocean. Exposing shipwrecks, ancient cities, and other fascinating secrets.
It's like underwater archaeology. But without the scuba gear. (Or the potential for getting eaten by a shark.)
Beyond Nature: Exploring Our World
Nat Geo isn't just about animals and oceans. They also delve into history, culture, and adventure.
"Free Solo" – Prepare to Sweat
Okay, this one's not for everyone. It documents Alex Honnold's free solo climb of El Capitan. No ropes. No safety net. Just him and a giant rock.
My palms were sweating the entire time. It's stressful. It's amazing. It's probably why I haven't attempted to climb a flight of stairs without holding the railing since.
"The World According to Jeff Goldblum" – Pure Goldblum-ian Delight
Jeff Goldblum explores everyday things. Like sneakers. Or ice cream. But with his signature quirky style.
It's educational. It's funny. It's Jeff Goldblum. What more could you want?
So, Give Nat Geo a Chance!
Next time you're scrolling through Disney Plus, don't automatically skip over National Geographic. You might just find your new favorite show.
Besides, isn't it time you learned something new? (Don't worry, it won't feel like homework.)
And who knows, maybe you'll finally win that trivia night. All thanks to a little Nat Geo binge-watching. You're welcome!
