Night on Earth

The photography is 10 out of 10. The narrative is excellent. What ruins this series is the melodramatic voice of the narrator. She's incredibly distracting and annoying.

Probably the first documentary where nights are properly documented without the unnatural lights. Just finished the show and its really good. Although I would have loved more if it was narrated by Sir Attenborough but its okay.

The night photography is stunning but I do have to agree with the other reviews regarding the narrator. She's really extremely boring with her monotone voice, sounding too sultry and dramatic. Took away from the series in my opinion. She needs to listen back to herself objectively.

The visuals are gorgeous. I was perennially covered in goosebumps and streaming tears over the beauty, the fragility, the wonder of it all. BUT that required an extreme exercise in blocking out the narrator, in fact several times I muted the TV and played classical music instead. She nearly put me into a depression bordering on coma. She sounds like a severely depressed robot even during delightful or high action scenes. She could not possibly drone on more uninterestingly if that had been her plan. In short, gorgeous nature show ruined by the narrator. Can't imagine who she auditioned for that thought she was even remotely a good choice, much less the "winner" for the job. As you can see, this review barely mentions the beautiful visuals and carries on all about the narrator... THAT'S HOW BAD SHE IS.

Why does the narrative have to be sooo dramatic! I couldn't even get through the first episode. Might try it on mute with music some time.
