Dynasties

Only the first episode but it's a masterclass in the power of the edit. Truly remarkable effort put into this ape story that is held together with very clever timeline splicing of no doubt an awful lot of filming, (two years into one hour). Oh and luckily the fashion of slomo fits in well with nature documentaries.

58 min per episode really? I mean really? Its must be 24 hours per Dynasty. Magnificent work, watch in 4K

I've been watching Attenborough documentaries for years, and each time I think it doesn't get any better than this. And it doesn't until the next one.

This is definitely BBC's best. The filming is literally like being in a cinema, the shots are breathtaking. In fact, I'd pay to see this at the cinema. The emperor penguin episode absolutely killed me. I spend my whole time watching the episodes saying 'oh my god' 'that's just mad!' etc! Some of the scenes and facts are just incredible. I am so glad to see the BBC have slightly moved the time of showing earlier so kids can watch and learn. (Should be earlier though). Anyone who doesn't watch this is seriously missing out

What an amazing episode. Truly an emotional journey , with the superb cinematography, editing, , directing, music and the soothing voice of the legend himself David Attenborough. Looking for the rest of episodes
