Planète Hostile

Truly captivating work! And who doesn't like bear grylls, I ask you, who? Not I

This is top notch in every single way, in every single detail. The directing, the music, the photography, the narrating everything is top notch and spot on. Factual, scientific, No political BS, no BS theories and so on. Stunning!

One of the most fascinating and incredibly shot documentaries I have seen in recent memories. Its impossibly hard to fathom how they shot it. If you have as fervent a taste or even a few degrees less for wildlife docs... this should truly enchant you. Must watch !

A lot of the moments I've seen in Planet Earth, Blue Planet, and Life Story but nothing in nature ever happens -exactly- the same twice so it doesn't feel terribly repetitive. Unless perhaps this is all BBC's unused footage repurposed, but I don't think a giant like Nat Geo would need to do that. The footage is just as gorgeous and thrilling, and Bear Grylls is a great narrator. Did they really fly him out to all those remote locations around the world just to shoot the 2 second intros/outros?

This Series is a true masterpiece of photography and documentary film making. The visuals are stunningly beautiful and the soundtrack brilliantly compliments the spectacular visuals. This is a truly wonderful show. Its prominent references to climate facts are also exceedingly brave for a documentary aimed at a primarily American audience - The high levels of scientific illiteracy and science denial in the U.S. will no doubt result in a 'hostile' reception among some.
