Paleoworld was, and is, one of the most highly regarded paleontology series of all time. This was one of the very first looks into the work that goes into paleontology. The various finds and topics of the day. And it's pretty wide in scope. While dinosaurs are a huge focus of the series, other types of fauna get a good amount of focus. These include two episodes dedicated to mammal-like reptiles, a number of episodes focused on the last Ice Age, the various fauna that lived alongside the dinosaurs like pterosaurs and marine reptiles, and even more obscure subjects like earlier mammal species or an island dominated by prehistoric rodents.
It's not without its flaws, though. Some of the episodes, mostly towards the tail end of the series, could get a bit silly at times. And of course, science does march on. Some of the theories presented (such as the possibility that T. Rex was an obligate scavenger) have mostly been debunked or are outdated.
That's not saying they ruin the show. Paleontology is a rapidly changing science and sometimes it's important to contextualize what was considered mainstream. In that regard, I think it holds up well. Anyone with an interest in paleontology should give this show a try.
