Prehistoric Planet Earth (1 Viewer)

[Optimus Prime]

While seeing a T-Rex swim was pretty cool, my favorite episode was the Ice World. Excellent series, made me forget that I wasn't watching a nature show on BBCA.

Finished it last night

a little of the CGI was a bit dodgy (mostly the underwater swimming dinosaurs) but the rest was top notch with great attention to detail, footprints in the sand, the branches as they walked by etc

super realistic

all the feathered dinosaurs took some getting used to though for me

the desert episode was probably my favorite

im surprised the last episode wasn’t the meteor strike and the end of the dinosaurs

maybe they’re keeping it for season two

David Attenborough went all Boris Johnson hairdo?

The reviews were stellar, I've read that the ratings/views are high, there's a ton more they could talk about so I'm assuming so

Well, I told myself I wasn't going to do it, BUT I watched the first 2 seasons of For All Mankind and now I'm hooked.....dammit. Still not going to keep ATV past the trial period though, I'll just wait until the final season, pay for a month or so and binge it. I really didn't see anything else on ATV that appealed to me, and I hate the interface....who doesn't seperate drama and scifi? Seriously? Oh well, if anyone has a one shot show/movie they recommend before I turn this off on Friday, let me know.

The Morning Show was pretty good.

NBC getting on the Dino Bandwagon
========================


The creator of the critically acclaimed BBC natural history series Walking with Dinosaurs has landed a new eight-part docuseries at NBC.

The broadcast network has ordered Surviving Earth that explores the bizarre and amazing creatures and breathtaking landscapes of a vibrant lost world.

The series is a co-production between Loud Minds, the UK production company founded by Walking with Dinosaurs creator Tim Haines, and Universal Television Alternative Studio.

It marks another interesting move in the world of high-end factual programming; the U.S. broadcast networks have generally shied away from big docuseries or natural history programming, leaving the genre to the likes of Discovery Channel and PBS, or more recently streamers such as Netflix and Apple...........

They have a very tough act to follow.

Nova on PBS had a two part episode called Dinosaur Apocalypse about a team of paleontologists trying to find dino fossils from the day of the meteor strike and discover what that day was like and what the dinosaurs actually experienced

it was interesting

also had cgi scenes in the past with a fraction of prehistoric planet‘s budget

weirdly also hosted/narrated by David Attenborough

I hope David Attenborough gets the James Earl Jones - Kenobi treatment so he can narrate nature documentaries forever

Season started Monday, with a new episode every day through Friday.

And it looks gorgeous in 4K.
