    Magnificent

    What an amazing episode. Truly an emotional journey , with the superb cinematography, editing, , directing, music and the soothing voice of the legend himself David Attenborough. Looking for the rest of episodes

    Regular briliance with emotional scarring

    *Updated* Cried at 3 out of 4 episodes for now. My emotional tank is being emptied pretty fast. This is a next layer of depth to already perfect documentaries by BBC and David Attenborough. Next episode can't come fast enough. "This animal is in bad condition, critical condition, and we think it's not going to M A K E"

    A masterpiece of television

    This series is a true masterpiece of television. The soundtrack, cinematography, and editing are all phenomenal! Honestly, I would rate this above Planet Earth 2. The stories enthral me from the start. The most amazing thing is that the stories are true The BBC NHU have expertly captured the true brutality and fragility of nature.

    Human intervention

    Excellent documentary as always from David Attenborough and the BBC. Such commitment from everyone involved to get one of the most informative animal programmes available. 10/10 for the human intervention with the penguin episode keep up the good work. Brilliant!

    David Attenborough must live to 150 years

    58 min per episode really? I mean really? Its must be 24 hours per Dynasty. Magnificent work, watch in 4K
