Serengeti

Incredible, beautiful, powerful!!! This is a great show you don't want to miss! The camera work is phenomenal!! It is a relaxing show that will move you. If you like animals you will love this show!

I have watched every episode of this TV series and was always compelled to watch the next show and, for the most, found it very enjoyable. Photography here is as beautiful as any natural world documentary seen on the BBC and John Boyega does a great job of narrating the show and brings a passion to the writing but that's where this show falls down. The narrative is that of a story of a family of several different species and is pure fiction to fit the shots captured. If you are keen eyed you will even notice that the animals which they use a certain name for will suddenly have some differences (such as a zebra's stripes) and is blatantly a different animal. I love nature and wildlife and the photography pleased me but I felt patronised, it is bordering on mockumentary. Give me Sir David Attenborough with his factual explanations over this any day.

I have never seen a nature series about animals like this one before. Serengeti just set a new bar with their camera angles and the storyline is almost human. I can't wait for the next episode.

I found this series refreshingly different from other wildlife series, and I think it's unfair to keep making comparisons to David Attenborough. The camera work is really good this series brings a different perspective on social life of the animals featured

Serengeti is a refreshing wildlife series that has been dramatised, and to be fair to the BBC it does warn you of this at the start of each episode, like others I was expecting usual run of mill wildlife filming, but I was pleasantly surprised, it is superb in the way they have captured the Serengeti life, the dramatisation adds suspense and interest, the new filming techniques are outstanding and individual characters caught perfectly, you can forgive the use of different animals portraying a character, it's a thumbs up from me and to those who dislike, then get your walking boots on and find your own wildlife.
