The Americas

The content, visuals, and narration are OUTSTANDING!!!! But, everything would be perfect if the music didn't drowned out Mr. Hanks wonderful narrative!! The music is lovely but too loud!!!! I want to hear the narrative as well! The visuals are so full of color and expressive action! The narrative tells an impressive tale giving the viewer background stories and remarkable details. I could watch these over and over catching new details each time. Mr. Hanks is absolutely amazing the way he delivers the information!! The production is thoughtful but not forced. There is humor, emotion, excitement, and danger. All the elements are presented in perfect balance, except the music level.

This series is amazing. The photography is sensational. I hope there is a sequel showing how it was produced. The production values are amazing. Was all the photography done from a helicopter? Did they scout the locations a long time before the producers and director put it together? I am amazed by the quality of the film, the graphics and the narration. Over how many years was it produced? How did they find that snowshoe rabbit or the dead polar bear? How did they get such marvelous closeups? It looks like it took a long time to put this together. When did they start filming? It is certainly worth watching. Give us more.

Do yourself a favor and watch this. Surreal images & things you've never seen. Great narrating. Amazing information and pictures. I can't even wrap my head around how they got all this video. You will be amazed at the nature and the wildlife that you never knew existed. This is a great series for the whole family to watch. You will be educated as well as your kids. I can't get this show enough praise and I hope it wins a lot of awards. Watch it on a big screen TV and turn the lights out and you will be totally mesmerized and your mind will be blown. This is the best non-regular program I have ever seen in my life.

Having been brought up on BBC wildlife programs narrated by the incomparable Sir David Attenborough, I was curious to see if this American made program showed anything new and if it was any good, well there wasn't much that I haven't seen before, but the camera work was glorious and Tom Hanks have it a good go, although I do find his voice a bit irritating, over all the program probably would have been great, but found I the music and background sounds too invasive, could hardly hear the poor Tom and he wouldn't have been cheap. Anyway this was so distracting from the visuals I gave up with it.

One of the best nature shows ever! And Tom Hanks is a great narrator! Spectacular photography and some things weve never seen before on a show. So very impressed and in hopes of more to follow. Thank you BBC or whoever produced this fabulous series. One of the best nature shows we have ever watched. Photography was beyond amazing and we discovered some wildlife we have never seen before in a nature show. Tom Hanks did an outstanding job of narrating the film. We will be saving this to watch again several times and sharing with family and friends. Would be wonderful if more episodes were created.
