Matt Roush says...
One person’s beast is another person’s bestie — that’s the takeaway from a charming nature series that depicts the close connections between humans and often unorthodox animals. Airing back-to-back episodes on Fridays (streaming the next day on Disney+ and Hulu), with six vignettes in each hour filmed all over the world, the series opens with accounts of people forming close bonds with a chicken, a mother octopus and a jumping spider.
