BBC Earth + David Attenborough = Perfection.

When BBC Natural History Unit couples with the legendary broadcaster and naturalists, Sir. David Attenborough, a nature gem is created. No need to watch all the episodes not even the first episode to confidently rate it a 10 star.

The first episode deals with the nocturnal animals showing amazing behavior and never seen before behavior. The amazing cinematography amazingly captures captivating scenes and behavior of different animals prowling in the dark, seeking food and shelter.

It is amazing that the more we delve into the natural world through the lenses of the cameras, the more we discover that the nature holds many secrets to flaunt.

I thank all the crew involved and appreciate the amazing voice of the legend.

Once again David Attenborough has come up with a novel and innovative way to show just how diverse and interesting our planet is. Every episode or series he does piques my curiosity. But the sad truth is that the advent of humanity presents an existential threat to every single aspect of life, including our own. Unless we change the Anthropocene will destroy us and much of our contemporaries, most whom have been here since life began some 2 billion years ago. David shows us what beauty and dignity there is on Earth. He resists the urge to scold. He holds up a mirror to ourselves. Enjoy and take the challenge to advocate for the wonder that David, at 97 still shows us.

Let's face it Sir David, we have seen it all before. 5 years in the making? How so.... It more uplifting than some previous ones, they kind of failed did they not? Depressing rather than uplifting.

Blue Planet, Planet Earth v1 were amazing, the narration and love for our little world fascinating and informative. But now, it is all redundant.

Anyone interested in ecology should go back to your earlier work. Firing GPS trackers? We have seen that before, are we going to have racer snakes soon - well, that is Reptiles, not Mammals?

We quote Planet Earth, but it is too late. There are more pressing issues in 2024, Attenborough should turn his attention to more pressing issues. And the BBC should re-run the OG rather than rebranding - it is a classic.

We have so many animal species, The Blue Planet was the sea. How long until we get Reptiles, or Insects, or Birds? And Sir David does not have long left, so they had better get a move on.

It's fascinating, but all animal life is. The BBC, now in crisis due to funding could use the millions paid out over 5 years to the crew and Sir David better.

It's a bit like Brian Cox's stuff, we rehash the same basic idea. There's a lot of stuff out there, the Sun will kill us, infinity. Now infinity is scarier than any tiger!

An exercise in propaganda. Mr Attenborough is at his pompous peak, pontificating about human damage and impact on mammals (mammals only - I guess he is saving this subject for other species for new series). You would think that this is about mammals but no! Sea lions in a Chilean city, otters in Singapore, elephants in a city near Victoria Falls. It goes on. And on and on. I am clear that this is an exercise in propaganda and the current rhetoric that is clearly part of the BBC's mission along with Mr Attenborough to convince viewers that the human race is the enemy of this planet. As many who believe that the jury is out on man-made climate change, the climate emergency, and all the rest of this nonsense, I believe that this is offensive preaching.
