Our Great National Parks

I actually really enjoyed this. If you like blue planet 2 then it's similarly produced and I quite enjoyed Obama's narration. Maybe, in time he could be a valid replacement to Attenborough. He isn't going to be around forever and if you like those series there will need to be someone to continue the work. As he also has very similar values regarding the planet and climate, I think he could be a great repcement.

This is totally worth checking out. In fact, just leave it on your screen whenever you are in the room just to fill your life with some spectacular images.

Ignore the Obama haters and check this series out if it piqued your interest. Some truly beautiful camera work and a score that matches quite well make this as entertaining as any nature and animal docu-series, short of Planet Earth. But come on, nothing in this genre touches that series.

For those who are not still clinging to their anger about Obama his narration is relaxing and informative. Absolutely worth a watch if you have an interest in the natural world!

As someone who can't concentrate on anything unless there's animal visuals on in the background, I have seen more than a hundred nature documentaries. The cinematography of Our Great National Parks is absolutely breathtaking, but that's the case for many other docs as well. What makes this one unique is that it zooms in on lesser known facts about animals, facts that even I --as a self-proclaimed connoisseur-- was flabbergasted by. On multiple occasions during each episode, the documentary tackled the animal protagonists from angles that I have never seen before. Plus, despite loving the big five, it's nice watching something that's not constantly about them, but about less common critters as well.

Sir David Attenborough is and will always remain the ultimate nature doc narrator but Barack Obama has made a solid impression and I'm eager for more.

I don't understand why Our Great National Parks has such a low rating but don't let it fool you. It's an absolute must watch. I've rated it 9 stars, the same rating I gave to Planet Earth I & II, Chasing Coral and Blue Planet I & II.

I immensely enjoy watching nature shows. I just wished the governments throughout the world would make it a priority to save and restore such vital habitats. Not to mention, void desert expansion. Isn't that what governments are for, governing society and environments?
