Stunning Documentary This series is the first major documentary produced by BBC covering the gorgeous wildlife and awe-inspiring sceneries and landscapes of Asia. I think it was a much needed, and for me, a long awaited series as Asia is the largest continent in the world with mesmerizing landscapes, ancient enchanted forests, magical deserts and bewitching wildlife. As usual with BBC documentary series, the cinematography is striking, camerawork is amazing and the efforts poured into making this series for four years is admirable. On top of all these is the velvety voiceover of the legendary naturalist, Sir David Attenborough that adds a soothing touch to the series. It is a respite, a reprieve from all the harrowing and sanguine happenings now engulfing the continent. This series is portraying the beautiful and majestic side of the continent, the side that, if seen, heeded and pored over by people in power, might change their perception of the world and life in not only in the continent but in the world.
