Talk about interesting.
This is a what if about a probe sent to a planet called Darwin IV.
This planet is inhabited by all sort of freaky creatures.

I have seen commercials for it but it just looks like a bunch of cheesy computer animations to me. Does anybody know more about it?

[IliaDN]

I saw the introduction to that website but i still don't understand the point of the show. I may have to check it out.

I think it is an attempt at realizing other possible life forms. The aliens in movies and TV shows are not very creative in terms of internal chemical processes, metabolism, senses, and basically everything else. I'm guessing that the creatures in this show are designed from a completely blank slate, based only off of the raw materials available on the planet.

The only good animals in this show were the Growthbacks and the Sea Striders.
