    I just wanted to know who here on Zoochat is currently watching the new tv show Zoo. I'm enjoying it so far, even though it's premise is a bit far fetched.
    However I got pissed off in a recent episode as one character exclaimed that 3 Sumatran Rhinos tossed over a car in Jakarta however when they showed footage of it they showed a White Rhino attacking the car. Maybe it's just me being nitpicky but that ****** me off.

    I really want to like the show, however the inaccurate script or images also pisses me off!

    What consistently annoys me is the horrendous acting by most of the cast!

    I still watch it every week...

    I sooo want the animals to win!

    I watch it for Nonso Anozie. That mountain of a man! He can whisper sweet nothings into one ear while Idris Elba whispers in the other. Happy Gulo :D

    Having read the actual book, I'm interested and yet annoyed in the direction in the T.V. show is going.Yes, the Sumatra rhino bit that showed white rhinos was annoying, but you realize that they are using actual animals whenever they can for real effects. That's what I love about his show. Real lions, real wolves, real bears. Besides, who on Earth would let a t.v. show use a real Sumatran rhino to smash a car?

    stupid disguise using serval kitten as leopard cub and tropical american boa constrictor as substitute for african python and finally downing of last jet ride by an annomous flock of birds without explanation how the swat team was rescued except of journalist picked up by the recluse boat operator who spoke in non-english.

    Does anyone watch the usa stupid series Zoo in which domestic and wildlife attack humans worldwide and have now hybridized with humans. A read nobrainer.

    Was originally based on a James Patterson novel which is even worse than the tv show.
