Do not miss this! The powerful voice of the narrator, the filmography, the amazing soundtrack and all the trivia learned are great! Watched it all in one day and I need more, can't wait for the next documentary narrated by this incredible woman!

The world needs more inspiring people like the ones we learned about from this series. There are still people who appreciate and love nature just how it should be. And the fact that we can learn from them...thank you for your hard work!

Please, National Geographic, make more documentaries like this one, full of powerful stories and music so you can feel like reading a great story.

Visually stunning at times and some very cool animals/interactions captured but far too much anthropomorphic language and not enough science of behaviors. Angela Bassett does a great job with the delivery of the dramatic lines and I can't fault her for iffy writing. The music is at times too much "girl boss" and sometimes takes away from the show. Really impressed with the video they managed to capture and what little science was in the show was fascinating but it heavily leaned on big dramatic phrases to explain normal animal behavior that is not "ruthless" or "hungry for power", it's simple animals surviving based on their instincts and needs.

Beautiful cinematography, interesting subjects, but good God it was hard to stick with it as every 25 seconds there's another forcibly inserted pop song that tries to amplify the scene, but instead it just takes away from the entire experience. Each episode feels like it has 30 different clips of pop music. If you're used to the quality of a BBC type documentary with well chosen atmospheric music that enhances the scenes, this will feel like fingernails on a chalkboard. I liked the tenor and pacing of Angela Basset's voice, and again - the camera work is top notch. I hope the team behind this production keeps at it - but next time don't try to make it a music video, please.

It's an all female produced, edited, and narrated documentary that spotlights female animals which I can only assume provoked the 1 star reviews. How sad that such an amazing piece of work is overlooked due to sexism. The cinematography is thrilling. Capturing these clips takes extreme talent and experience and we see that here, but what I absolutely loved is the soundtrack and editing. It worked so well with the shots and I have rewatched the end of the hyena episode over and over. I've never had a documentary evoke the emotion this series made me feel. Angela Basset is a force of nature and her narration seals the deal for me.

Am amazing series will worth watching. Can't stress enough how well produced this is. Many thanks for giving us this unique look into the animal kingdom. This is visually stunning. Still in awe how they were able to capture such intimate moments. The narration is one of the best I've heard. Basset's soothing voice leads you through this captivating journey. I hardly ever write reviews but I felt compelled to give credit where it is due. Haven't been able to stop watching. It's always nice to watch a documentary that teaches you so many new things about these remarkable creatures. I see many awards in the horizon.
