We should not be taking prehistoric wildlife documentaries like these for granted. The fact that I mentioned programs that came out more than 20 years ago says something about the rarity of high quality projects like these. It was not until Prehistoric Planet that we finally got something that echoed what made BBC's Walking with series so special, and I am very satisfied with this documentary as well.
Life on Our Planet has great scope, delving into a multitude of different subjects. Mass extinctions, evolution, climates, habitats, plants, arthropods, cephalopods, amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs/birds, mammals and much more. It travels through time back and forth to show the lives of animals that went extinct and those that still exist today. Life on Our Planet is beautiful, tragic and educational.
I will be rewatching it pretty soon. Of course I hope more of these kind of documentaries will be made in the future. The only thing that could make Prehistoric Planet and Life on Our Planet even more interesting is a narrative focus on a specific animal, something that made the Walking with series so compelling.
