Sieben Kontinente - Ein Planet

Sir David Attenborough's narration with beautiful cinematography makes for an amazing viewing experience. We as humans should also listen to the message; we share our planet with other beings, safeguarding our future together is our responsibility. If we keep on the path of ignorance it will soon be too late to make it right. Ps: Shows like these make paying the license fees worth it.

Always a fan of Sir David's works and this is no different. The BBC has a monolith like arm for cinematic splendour, and as a photographer myself, seeing the behind the scenes at the end is always inspiring.

I also found out that the cine lenses they use are Canon 70-1000mm, yes 1000mm! Those things cost around £70,000 each. This kind of gives you an idea on the type of distances they are from the wildlife to get many of the shots that would otherwise be impossible.

The musical score, the action, the insight and the narration, a better combination that Hollywood movies costing hundreds of millions of dollars.... And you end up having a new found respect and understanding for nature as a whole.

Just seen the 2nd Episode and that includes Indonesia where I have lived since 1986. I've been to Sumatra and more recently Tanjung Puting and the Leakey research centre and feeding stations. Truly an experience you must see. Only 2 hours by plane and boat from Jakarta

Its exactly what you would expect from Sir David Attenborough. beautifully shot and it does well to draw you in and hook you leaving emotional at times. now is it at the level of planet earth 2? for me so far it isn't but its very close. you wont be disappointed.

Noticed footage of walrus falling from the cliff in the first episode is the same as footage of walrus falling from our planet episode 2

Great cinematography and a few interesting facts though we've seen much of it before in the many shows of this variety that have aired before. Not much on the 'ways' and 'hows' of the planet and it's continents, but more of a quick overview of pinpointed areas that then focuses on a few animals in these areas and how they live and survive, especially in the dire situation of deforestation and climate change. (A dark and worrisome theme throughout many episodes). More of a new version of the vintage "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom," than a in-depth series like BBC's 'Planet Earth' or 'Blue Planet.' Though like those, it is narrated by the great David Attenborough. It is listed on TV as season one, so maybe it will benefit from additional seasons that when combined will give us a more thorough overview of our world's continents. I was hoping more for a thorough look into everything about each continent, from their land, the forests, deserts, rivers and climate, to their societies and people. Instead we just get some selected tales of how a selected animal hunts and struggles in about an hour's run time. Still an important series to understand what man is doing wrong to this planet.
