Eden: Untamed Planet

Why on earth would you narrate what the animals are thinking? "Mhhh, these are some tasty leaves".... "oooh, the water is nice and refreshing"..... it's freaking irritating.

Other than the 1st-person narration, the series is really good. It's too bad that the series is spoiled by that, otherwise this could have been a 9/10 nature series.

Helena Bonham Carter's sickly sweet metronome-like narration makes this series unbearable to listen to.

BBC travels around the globe visiting various species. Helena Bonham Carter is the narrator. She's fine although it takes getting used to since her voice is so recognizable. This is a six part limited series with one for the making of. It is yet another nature show from BBC. They do know how to make them looking so pretty. This one is that for sure. My only concern is that these shows are too beautiful and people come away thinking that the natural world is fine. Pictures say a thousand words and these pictures are just so very pretty. I guess I'll just watch these shows as the world burns down.

This new series is a wonderful story about the places that still beautifully exist in our somewhat crumbling globe.

It truly is a breath of fresh air!

We very much enjoy the photography along with a sense of hope for our planets animals.

Beautiful close up film footage. But the narration needs improvement. If you're going to add drama, be sure to put the two subjects in the same frame.
