Europe from Above

Excellent documentary, not just viewing from the air but many selected features are explained very well.

Shocking representation of Europe from the eye of a bird (actually an helicopter and a few drones). The images are good in the sense that they are eye candy. The choices debatable, the commentary is hilarious. Europe defined as 'packed with history', Lorenzo digging mud in Venice with his boat called 'a mega machine', in every episode someone doing maintenance says 'I have the best job in the world'. This is meta-humor. John Waters, move along, this is a new frontier of trash!

After watching nearly all episodes I find that there is too much focus on engineering and technology. There is too little focus on the cities and what could be interesting for tourists. What would be attractive for a tourist to visit is left out. Or would one be interested to know how a bridge or skyscraper is build in any given country? The birds-eye vieuws of the landscape are magnificent however, especially when the season shifts and you see the changes. It shows you landscapes that are truly amazing but then it cuts back to yet another technical feat again. I keep watching because of the fabulous birds-eye vieuws though.

Wow.... I have just started watching this wonderful series ....absolutely delightful, it's a Geography and History lesson rolled into one with some superb camera footage and exceptional projects that one would not otherwise be aware of.

This is one of the best and purest Television programs I've ever seen and should be a standard in practice. No agenda, no bias, just a camera drone in the air, taking some of the most stunning shots I've ever seen and a narrator giving you information and history about the place in subject, and that's it.

What a joy to watch and a must for anyone to show their children. The fact that there are 4 seasons now covering almost every country in Europe and certainly the biggest of them. (Although we might be waiting for a Ukraine episode for a while)

Anyway at under 50 characters left to cap this review I think it is a simple program that offers a lot, and also works as a suitable ground floor for learning about what any country in Europe is all about.
