From the frozen tundra in the north to the dry forests of the equator, Sir David Attenborough narrates a compelling view of the planet; "Planet Earth" was the first natural history documentary to be filmed in high definition, and now a decade later improved technology has made it possible to capture further details, from elusive animal behaviors to previously inaccessible remote landscapes. In addition to exploring the wilderness, the series examines urban dwellings, focusing on animals that have adapted to city life.

Kelly Lawler USA Today 12/28/2017
"Cities," which follows groups of animals that have adapted to live in dense metropolises, is as beautifully filmed and edifying as the rest of the Planet Earth episodes, but with a more powerful ending than usual. Go to Full Review Andrew Billen The Times (UK) 12/28/2017
4/5
Attenborough is frequently guilty of species loyalty, just not to his own. Go to Full Review Martin Hughes-Games Guardian 12/28/2017
It has been wonderful watching Planet Earth II. What a glorious, spectacular and fascinating series. Go to Full Review David Butcher Radio Times 04/11/2019
It's tempting to remember Planet Earth II with a sort of golden glow. The Natural History Unit's round-up of life surviving in Earth's extreme environments was full of beautiful sequences, but it's easy to forget how many of them had a nightmarish edge.

That is the strength of the best passages of Planet Earth: when the drama of nature speaks for itself. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Peter Crawley Irish Times 12/28/2017
Absorbing as this is, Planet Earth II chases viewers as assiduously and expertly as it chases the fauna, rewarding you with sharable stories rather than lingering lessons. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
