This Apple series is well done, showing how wonderful natures' sounds are WITHOUT PPL noise that bombards entire planet 24/7.
Best, the Apple film/ sound crew did not harm nor kill any of wildlife shown in this series, unlike Disney's "Ghost in the mountains" & "Born in China" films where Disney crew repeatedly darted & collard the supermom snow leapard renowned by natives, & then cruelly watched her die slow death of starvation along with her 2 FEMALE TEEN CUBS. If Disney didn't choose her for their film, she def would've survived & raised her 2 cubs to maturity- so skip THAT film.
Here, Apple crew film with many hidden camera traps & wait over 2 yrs to capture snow leopard mating call & courtship.
Many enchanting new clips are captured. Tom Hiddleston does very good narration with better written interesting script, showing glimpse how fragile & vulnerable top predators are in reality.
What script omits are vast amounts of resources PPL take DAILY ie, known fact in few managed seas - whales, orcas, dolphins, seals etc as total group only take 1% of ALL fish, esp herring, while PPL TAKE OVER 95% of ALL & every fish type DAILY. This should be in script. Also, Japan kills all dolphins while its huge ships fish in other countries oceans & international waters bc Japan deems dolphins as "competition eating too much fish." Watch the horrific chilling true docu "the Cove" if u don't believe this. Fact not in script: Other 4% = billions of bycatch that's killed & dumped back into the sea as trash, from endangered turtles to sharks to orcas- all "trash bycatch" due to NO regulations of fishing in last few places fish are somewhat plentiful. NATO govts refuse to regulate the seas.
Here, there's no gore so rated G. Hearing nature with new tech microphones & recordings is a delight. Many shots are old bc planet no longer looks pristine, & last ep gives behind scenes tidbits of consequences of global warming. See Plastic Ocean filmed over 10 yrs ago, or Netflix's Chasing Coral 2009.
This Apple series is similar to Sir David's 35 yr old wondrous "Birds of Paradise." Since 2005, many Scientists have been studying global "sound pollution by PPL" & real adverse affects esp to endangered whales, turtles, dolphins & orcas; script should include some of those facts.
When Sir David finally retires, it should be Jeremy Irons or Tom Hiddleston as voice of BBC.
