About

If you enjoy big, emotional wildlife stories with breathtaking visuals, this is a strong pick, especially if you liked Planet Earth II or Seven Worlds, One Planet; Not for you if you want a fact-heavy, classroom-style nature series.

Pros: stunning visuals; emotional animal stories; immersive narration | Cons: light on animal facts; can feel preachy; narrow focus per episode
