Brutal and so honest! That's how it's supposed to be! No sugarcoating nonsense! Keep up the good work BBC! And I love you! Sir David Attenborough!!!!

This should be viewed by every person alive, esp in every type of school.

Cinematography is gorgeous at times, always lovely with good narration & updated facts by Sir David. New behaviors are filmed as wildlife that evolved for millennia in freezing ice worlds face steadily warming oceans & NO ice at all.

Anyone who believes mammals do not share human emotions have never seen harp seal pup relaxing with smile next to mother seal, then cry & show clear facial distress whenever she leaves, especially after the 12th day. The harp pup's look of utter abandonment after her last kiss of farewell, watching mother seal swim far away is as emotively clear as any human toddler's face, ncluding forlorn cries of loneliness. There's also young polar bears ice skating for fun, & playing with each other for days, being social & not living completely alone.

Absent ice or fast melting ice is devastating entire ecosystems causing snow wildlife to barely exist. Artic foxes, small & shy, are being bullied & over run by southern larger fox cousins who steal their food. Grizzly bears are eating artic wolves food/ newborn musks. Mother artic fox cannot provide for her young pups because artic birds refuse to breed @ usual sites. Polar bears are steadily drowning in ice free seas by hundreds yearly for past 20 years. Starving mother polar bears are leaving their cub(s) after 6 months instead of usual 18 - 24 months required for any polar bear cub to learn survival skills & mature into young adulthood.

This program focuses on how ICE on both polar regions are critical to planet's entire health & stable weather for humans. Heartbreaking are albatross, loyal mates for life spanning 50+ yrs, with largest wingspan in world, their 1 chick dying in nest bc of sudden violent killer storms, freezing winds over 125 mph with no parents to protect chicks. Same for emperor penguin chicks.

For those ppl still in denial, or complain "I don't need reminder ppl ruin nature" are missing the point. The series is highlighting that there's No TIME left to waste or wait for "another" to remedy this global issue.

This series was filmed in 2020, released in 2022 & reminds us that things have only gotten worse bc humanity as whole keeps wasting & consuming, focuses on short term greed, destroying only home we got, regardless of wealth One must witness these adverse changes bc most ppl feel insulated due to centralized A/C & heating.

These precious ICE ecosystems MUST exist for humanity to maintain its status quo / quality of life incl growing food.

Humans are top predators & control every part of this planet. It's our choice to cherish by change or apathetically discard by doing nil, dooming everyone.

As with other BBC documentaries about Our Planet, this one is also glorious. The cinematography is unrivaled and scenes are maginificently beautiful and rare. The animal behavior may seem unpleasant, but isnt it about survival? I have read the reviews and I see people gripe about the "brutal, heartless killings". They become hungry and they have to quench their hunger. There is no hate no spite and once they are fed, they do not harm another animal. It is their instinct. Lets look at humanity. Are the animal behavior depicted in the series more brutal and grislier than the atrocities the Humanity commits? We are currently having a war on our hand in Europe. Humans are perpetrating the most heinous crimes against each other, raping women, grinde them to bit and bury them to hide any trace of their crimes. They even rape men in this war, mass graves, homes pulverized to mangled mess of concrete and bars. The destruction we wreak on the world, deforestation, greenhouse gases pumpd into atmosphere, pesticides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers dumped on the land and plants, overfishing, poaching, infringing on natural habitats of animals, causing COVIS19 and the trail of destructions goes on and on

Honestly, can the natural animal behavior shown in the series be compared with all the odious thins we human beings do againt each other and our Beautiful Planet?

Documentary showing difficult conditions animal and plant world deals with in still frozen parts of planet. Their adaptations to this places in order to survive, beat the competition of other species who did not ventured that far. It is gruesome as all predatory food chain is. But not for indulgence, but basic survival. Completely different story from that humans developed. They are pointing at the root cause of the melting icebergs and acceleration of the changes, what they mean for these specialised animals. Even we humans can not adapt as quickly to the surges in heat and consequences of it. Technology is our tool of adaptation, but is also a cause of the emissions causing the warming up. We need to change the energy sources and our level of population growth and material demands. It is not a favour we do to those animals, it will become a necessity in less time we want to admit to self and others. COVID came rapidly, warnings were there for years to invest in better research and prevention. Climate change is happening for some time and accelerates every year with more devastating consequences. Yet, people who are relatively comfortable, watching their TV programmes, either feel helpless or became ignorant. It is not happening to them. No flood water destroying the house irreversibly, no land slides, no hunger, no waterborne diseases, loss of relatives in many milder parts of the world. The shocks are sadly in the most extreme environments, be it polar regions, or tropics, where isolated animals and human population struggles every day. I do not think the filmmakers are extreme or selling the soap opera of animal world. The storyline is made in the way people can connect and see themselves in lives of other species. Most people project their emotions. And it helps them to realise animals feel I is mostly hunger, pain, fear, but also some joy. They are fighting for their lives every day and it is getting harder, and more fatal, shortening lives for the individuals and whole populations due to rapid disappearance and alternations to the environment they were adapting for very long time.

Should we intervene? Yes, we need to reverse the first intervention and stop heating up the planet. Otherwise these series maybe one of the last documentaries showing these animals still in their natural environments.

The BBC can be criticised for many things in recent times, but when it comes to documentaries, the corporation is still a cut above.

Like many series that have gone before, Frozen Planet II is an astonishing watch, the visuals are like nothing else, expertly produced, this magical, awe inspiring series is first rate, moving, memorable,

Sir David Attenborough never fails to impress, the voice of many an award winning series, and of course he nails it once again.

It's a Great mix, the jaw dropping magic of mother nature, contrasted with the misery and mayhem that man's greed has inflicted on our North and South Poles.

Credit to all involved in the production of it, first class in every department.

10/10.
