The
National Geographic Channel, sometimes abbreviated as NatGeo, is an offshoot of
National Geographic magazine and a network of its own on television. Its specials cover a wide variety of topics, as does the magazine from which the channel branched off. The topics covered range from events that happened thousands of years ago to explorations of controversial topics in the present day.
Tropes
- Of Corsets Sexy: One episode of Taboo, in keeping with its theme of body modification, interviewed a woman who wore a corset because she wanted to retain her hourglass figure despite her age. The corset was even tightlaced to the point where her waist had a circumference of 15 inches.
- Shown Their Work: In excruciating detail, even when the show is dealing with speculative matter, such as on Storm Worlds.
- Speculative Documentary: Some of the shows that air on Nat Geo fit into this genre, such as episodes of Aftermath and Storm Worlds.
- Your Normal Is Our Taboo: Its series Taboo deals a lot with practices that are normal for certain cultures that Westerners would find shocking, obscene, odd or taboo.
