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.

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.

Nat geo guys must be paid well to wait for this much time to make a video worth watching. This documentary was different from the things BBC films (both are fixed on animals anyway). And, the music mix was accurately paced. I guess when the whole world was preparing for coronavirus, you guys took a flight to africa and then the other places with every itinerary already laid out, combined with the approximate or fixed time for the end of the filming which I guess was parallel with the pandemic. There are things which are above my thinking grade. Well, Thanks for the animal kingdom for let them shoot and nat geo.

Some seriously amazing cinematography and insanely brutal moments captured. They don't hold back on how cruel nature is and how animals can be to one another.

But the music ruins the show. That's not an exaggeration. Who is their target demographic here? It's as if they were trying to appeal to the urban TikTok generation, but it doesn't work at all. Whoever supervised the music should be fired. It's that bad, and for that reason alone I cannot recommend this show.

The story-telling of a few episodes also seemed forced, particularly the insect episode. Try an episode to see if you like it, the Lions and Elephant episodes are good. But you'll probably hate the music and it ruins the whole vibe.

MY RATING:

5: AVERAGE- Not bad, not good. Overall, it is probably forgettable. A few aspects kept me engaged enough to finish, but my attention likely drifted throughout. I wouldn't necessarily dissuade people from watching it, but also cannot recommend it. Wish I had watched something else instead.

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.
