Planet Earth II

This is without doubt the best thing I have seen on television for years. The photography, narration and general story telling of the lives of the animals is simply breath-taking.

Episode 1 was animals that live on islands. As others have mentioned I have never seen such a more terrifying piece of natural-history photography in my life. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it or caught it on YouTube but I never thought I would be shouting at the TV for Iguana's to run.

Episode 2 was mountain living wildlife from Grizzly Bears coming out of hibernation to Snow Leopards.

This programme is one of the few examples which envelopes you in its documentary telling. You are seeing things for the first time and you are left with wanting more. Roll on episode 3, jungles.

I have just finished watching the first episode on BBC 1 and I am amazed to find that Planet Earth II appears to have bettered the original! The photography is perfect and Attenborough's narration, both content and delivery, is unparalleled.

This initial outing is titled "Islands" and whilst I don't want to dwell on the individual segments, the Racer Snakes vs baby Iguanas is probably the most terrifying piece of natural history film I have ever witnessed, not for the fainthearted or squeamish!

The "making of segment at the end of the documentary proper was particularly enjoyable and informative.

This is what the BBC does best and long may it last.

What to say about Planet Earth II which has not already been said about so many other fantastic productions from BBC Nature?

I've no idea.

However: the production values are as always the very best in the business, the photography is likewise unmatched and it's all tied together with masterful insight and authority by David Attenborough, the man who through more than four decades has taught the planet more about the natural world than any ten others put together.

Simply superb.

The actual content? That you need to see for yourself.

The opening image of Planet Earth II contained the promise of everything to come. It was spectacular, it was beautiful, it was magical.

A hot air balloon floated like a snowflake, two miles above

an Alpine.

The theme of the episode was "Islands", and we got off to a winningly cute start with a visit to idyllic Escudo, off Panama.

Its star attraction is a three-toed pygmy sloth spurred into slow motion action by the cry of a potential mate. But no doubt what most people will remember, and talk about today, were the baby iguanas running the gauntlet of swarms of racer snakes on the Galapagos island of Fernandina.

how beautiful our world and its living thing .....

and how beautiful and big the creator of this whole universe ....

I think people have to watch this types of films which is real one .

Hello this is my first written review. Note that I haven't watched the first season (2006) so I can't compare both.

This series will get you the feels when you read a good book, watched a good movie, or played a good game, because this is more than good.

THIS IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE and of course with the danger of nature itself included.

I don't know how they got those shots and the audio, even the music just like the rush when you first meet your crush, and the story with narration slaps you with the cold harsh of reality and the mesmerizing it gave. You are watching a book of life with enough drama and some bitter truth in every paradise, because life is never perfect.

I'm very thankful for whomever people that makes this show to be realized, from the smallest task to the most dangerous.

Thank you very much for this ineffable experience.
