Europe from Above

Wow.... I have just started watching this wonderful series ....absolutely delightful, it's a Geography and History lesson rolled into one with some superb camera footage and exceptional projects that one would not otherwise be aware of.

Shocking representation of Europe from the eye of a bird (actually an helicopter and a few drones). The images are good in the sense that they are eye candy. The choices debatable, the commentary is hilarious. Europe defined as 'packed with history', Lorenzo digging mud in Venice with his boat called 'a mega machine', in every episode someone doing maintenance says 'I have the best job in the world'. This is meta-humor. John Waters, move along, this is a new frontier of trash!

After watching nearly all episodes I find that there is too much focus on engineering and technology. There is too little focus on the cities and what could be interesting for tourists. What would be attractive for a tourist to visit is left out. Or would one be interested to know how a bridge or skyscraper is build in any given country? The birds-eye vieuws of the landscape are magnificent however, especially when the season shifts and you see the changes. It shows you landscapes that are truly amazing but then it cuts back to yet another technical feat again. I keep watching because of the fabulous birds-eye vieuws though.

Excellent documentary, not just viewing from the air but many selected features are explained very well.

I'am watching this show from beginings, but last episode is total dissaster.

Have just watched episode of Serbia and was dissapointed about choosen locations - from donkeys and paprika to Belgrade waterfront! Amateurish drone flights, color correction and chaotic cuts were annoying...This is not Serbian best, shame on production and everyone involved!

Only bright point was narrator voice, great as always! Missed chance to present wonderful country in it's best.

I hope that there will be some other seasson with some other members of production involved.

P.s.Even map of Serbia was not presented well on start of this episode.
