This program is good for kids, age 10 and below, who don't really know much about dinosaurs but want to see how strong their favorites were. For anyone else? No, not really.
For one you've already seen it all, the program uses animation from other documentaries. This itself wouldn't be much of a deal if along with the animation the show didn't state as facts now debunked theories and inaccuracies in order to be able to reuse footage, best example is "Allosaurus using it's jaw as an axe", a theory that was heavily debated and proven wrong yet is stated as a fact. Steven's ranking is also weird at times, where he ranks certain dinosaurs much faster than others even though they were much slower in real life. Another huge minus are the experiments themselves, yes for kids they are entertaining, but they hold no scientifically value, a guy using huge scissors to cut through a car is not the same as Tyrannosaurus bitting into a Triceratops. This program focuses a lot on the violence of dinosaurs, which is alright but you won't learn much from it, yes you will learn how Velociraptor used it's claw, but on what prey, when or where or even that there may have been more than one use will remain a complete mystery to you. Overall I say this program is a bit weaker than average, mainly because it's one huge recap of what you've seen in other documentaries and a tiny bit of low budget myth busters sprinkled in, except 70 % of the time they only show you myths but don't debunk them. You'll be much better off watching The truth about killer dinosaurs.
