Review: The Netflix docuseries 'Penguin Town' takes a look at a South African town’s most fascinating seasonal visitors
That said, it’s hard not to look at this army of exquisite creatures striding smartly around—looking all the more impressive against the stunning beach background—without suspecting they’re off to some black-tie celebration. They’re not, of course—the celebration is in the minds of viewers following this enchanting sight, this filmed gift in eight parts narrated by Patton Oswalt.
None of this human admiration can, of course, do much to improve the life of a penguin, which is not an easy one. The young don’t survive easily. They have lethal enemies, chief among them the Cape fur seal. No wonder they feel safe hanging around humans. Their motto, the film informs us, is something on the order of “The closer to humans, the safer the nest.”
