    Dangerously beautiful

    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.

    Greatest documentary ever created.

    By far the greatest and best nature documentaries ever made. Everyone needs to watch this. I have no idea how many hours it must have taken to film this, and it seems like the people who made this are totally out of their minds.

    The snow leopard scenes in episode 2 are so brilliant it's amazing. It's one of the rarest animals ever shot on film and they've managed to shoot so much of it. It's crazy.

    They deserve every little credit they get. I'm thoroughly impressed by the work put into this and i'm sure it surpasses the work put into any Hollywood action film ever created.

    I think I learned a lot more from these people, more than how much I learned from the content itself.

    Mesmerizing

    The original Planet Earth back in 2006 was an astounding and refreshing series that tore down the limits of documentary making. It was universally lauded as exceptional, and if you haven't seen it then you're missing a genuine treat.

    Planet Earth II is everything its predecessor was. And more.

    Ultra sharp photography, iris-piercing colour and focus, and on a decent home set up, a superbly immersive experience. It is almost hypnotic the way the gorgeous landscapes and action scenes are interwoven with a sublime soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.

    The BBC receives criticism sometimes for the way it spends 'tax payers' money', but surely not for this. Whether you're aged 8 or 80, this is the highest quality television that will bewilder and astound.

    Truly wondrous, and David Attenborough is a legend.

    Excellent

    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 .

    Yet another masterpiece from BBC Nature & David Attenborough

    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.
