Die Welt in den Farben der Nacht

S2 eps of elephant family and puma family are more in-depth than S 1. The other eps are also mostly focused on a lead animal where viewer can appreciate the huge struggle all wildlife must endure simply to survive on this human planet. The cinematography is exceptional, narration by Tom Hiddleston is also very good, though he is forced to pause at times from director. Tom is a Shakespeare an actor with fantastic speaking abilities. Adults can enjoy this series 2, not just kids. No graphic hunt kill shots. Gorgeous at times, even the tiny lives.

A glimpse into animal world at night is breathtaking, refreshing and really interesting.

Tom Hiddleston as the narrator is really great to hear. He describes everything really well.

All in all, would recommend.

Apple TV is throwing its hat into the nature documentary genre. To its credit, it has created something new in this relatively crowded space. There are only a few different situations that isn't saturated with nature documentary crews; the deepest of oceans and the darkest of nights. Sure, there is footage of animals at night. It's usually those night vision or thermal imaging footage. Somehow, they look alien and disconnecting. By seeing it in daylight conditions, this show is revealing new situations with new footage.

Even something old is presented in new ways. In the artificial city lights, this show has peregrine falcons dive bombing little birds against the backdrop of the glowing cityscape. It looks amazing and new. Then there are new animal situations. The predators are a lot closer in the darkness. There are new animals but even old animals have new behavior. I've never seen a herd of wildebeests following cheetahs around. This is narrated by Tom Hiddleston. He fits the nature documentary space in a new way. He is British like the old doc series, but he is still a new yet familiar voice.

Tom hiddlestone should definitely do another show similar to this his voice is soothing and nice to listen to. The visuals on this are nothing short of spectacular absolutely astonishing, I really hope Apple+ makes more content like this with Tom.

The Earth at Night in Color stands apart from many documentary series. The latest camera technologies that are used in this series deliver a documentary with a fresh look at nature.

This show documents the lives of various species across the world in different habitats, during nighttime. However, even in the low light, the cinematography we see is in full color!

The photography and camera team for this series must be commended for their astonishing and brave work filming these dangerous and majestic creatures in the dead of night. All of the habitats are so well colored and clear, to the point that I could not differentiate night to day. Narrated by Tom Hiddleston (Thor, Avengers: Endgame) who adds a youthful and professional voice. My favorite part is at the end of each episode when we get a behind-the-scenes look into how a particular episode was shot in the dark. It leaves the audience no questions about how this was filmed; a question many have after watching documentaries about nature.

The film's message challenges the idea 'there is more than meets the eye." While the dark may seem scary and unpredictable, the sun always shines back in the morning.

I give The Earth at Night in Color 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 10 to 18, plus adults. You can watch it on AppleTV+ now. By Ashleigh C., KIDS FIRST!
