* VindicatedByHistory: It's hardly acclaimed, but thirteen years and counting on, you'll find more and more people willing to point out the positives in it. If nothing else, paleontology enthusiasts will give it points for steering clear of familiar faces like T. rex, ''Smilodon'', raptors, and megalodon and giving the spotlight to more obscure but equally fascinating prehistoric predators (including introducing ''Acrocanthosaurus'' to a wider audience). It does help that there are [[Series/ClashOfTheDinosaurs more]] [[Series/JurassicFightClub infamous docs]] out there to attract ire away from it.

Critical Research Failure is now a disambiguation page.


* CommonKnowledge: Some have called this series “the most inaccurate paleo-documentary ever made”, claiming that it regularly throws scientific facts out the window in favor of sensationalist nonsense. That is true…but only for the ''Spinosaurus'' episode. The other episodes certainly have several examples of CriticalResearchFailure (like the scaly ''Deinonychus'') and the presentation, [[PrehistoricMonster which focuses squarely on the predators slaughtering everything in sight]], certainly carried over into the rest, but the actual science was usually fairly up to date ([[ScienceMarchesOn at least for its time]]). It’s just that the ''Spinosaurus'' was handled so atrociously, it colored people’s perception of the entire series. Other shows, like Series/JurassicFightClub, are far more ''consistent'' with ignoring and/or twisting paleontological evidence from its time.
* CriticalResearchFailure: Let's just say "''Spinosaurus''" and leave it at that.

* {{Narm}}: Oh so much. For starters, when the ''Acrocanthosaurus'' snaps the neck of its prey, it makes the most cheesy-sounding, over-the-top stock cartoon "squish" sound effect imaginable. The fact that the prey's face turns to a permanent DullSurprise enhances the effect.

** The ''Spinosaurus'' episode, naturally. The series is so hellbent on making it the ultimate killing machine it makes it come as an over-the-top movie monster than a believable creature. As such, its scenes range from reasonably nightmarish to just plain ridiculous, including one especially egregious scene where the ''Spinosaurus'' instantly kills an adult ''Carcharodontosaurus'' by bitchslapping it.

* SignatureScene: Inevitably, the episode of the Spinosaurus became one for the entire series due to its absurd portrayal of the aforementioned animal, to the point is the one episode viewers likely remind from the program.

* HilariousInHindsight: Over the top reconstruction aside, science hasn’t been kind with the ''Spinosaurus'' depicted in the program. With more modern discoveries showing the creature as a piscivorous animal with likely aquatic adaptations, the Hollywoodesque PrehistoricMonster depicted in the series looks more outlandish and improbable the more we get to know the real creature.

** The way the subjects are described as monsters can be quite absurd and tacky. The crowner has to be when they're shown in the 21st century attacking people like in a bad Syfy Original Movie.
