I am really enjoying this series. I think it does a great job of explaining the social structure various animals have and issues within that structure they have to contend with.
The camera work is fantastic, overall the series is a visual delight!
Perhaps the show does stick to what some may refer to as a false narrative but I don't think it claims to be anything other than what it presents itself as. I think the addition of the 2 well known actors as narrators is a wonderful idea and something that may pull kids in to learn about these wonderful animals whereas the more intense documentaries may be too much for them.

I have watched every episode of this TV series and was always compelled to watch the next show and, for the most, found it very enjoyable.
Photography here is as beautiful as any natural world documentary seen on the BBC and John Boyega does a great job of narrating the show and brings a passion to the writing but that's where this show falls down. The narrative is that of a story of a family of several different species and is pure fiction to fit the shots captured. If you are keen eyed you will even notice that the animals which they use a certain name for will suddenly have some differences (such as a zebra's stripes) and is blatantly a different animal.
I love nature and wildlife and the photography pleased me but I felt patronised, it is bordering on mockumentary. Give me Sir David Attenborough with his factual explanations over this any day.
I found this series refreshingly different from other wildlife series, and I think it's unfair to keep making comparisons to David Attenborough.
The camera work is really good this series brings a different perspective on social life of the animals featured
Incredible, beautiful, powerful!!! This is a great show you don't want to miss! The camera work is phenomenal!! It is a relaxing show that will move you. If you like animals you will love this show!
I thoroughly enjoyed this series, in particular, the narration.
BBC have taken a bold and daring route by telling the animals lives using a narrative we all understand. With this approach there is continuity.
Not sure what the comment refers to "turning the animals into humans" ? It's factual, real and entertaining. If you don't like it turn it off. I've even seen reviewers saying where is David Attenborough. Really. It's the 21st century, let's move on.
