This is a wonderful series. Astronomy, earth science, evolution, food chains, you name it, it has it all. Good science and fantastical speculation. Classroom worthy.

Unfortunately, one of the most heart breaking moments happens during the Eden Episode. When the show is talking about symbiotic relationships. The show introduces the Hadza tribe. At first, you see their amazing relationship with the wildlife around them. However, their modern style clothing, it begs the question of how they obtained it... After a quick google search you learn that they have lost between 75% and 90% of their land to modern culture (per National Geographic's website). Ultimately, it ruined the series for me.

Got to the third episode and can't watch anymore when near the end the narrator says that the planet Eden is on a 40 degree axis tilt so it gets more sunlight than earth. Sorry but that isn't how it works, and the lack of imagination of the show to, they talk about extremophiles but than say that all life needs Oxygen, Light, and water to survive, it honestly wasn't even worth listening to.

With what is without doubt a great idea for a series has turned into a failure, spending very little time focusing on alien animals and spending too much time on earth, what should be a fun and creative series has instead poured out a boring excuse of a show
-
The series claims to "use the laws of life on earth to try to imagine life on other planets and totally fails to do so. The CGI is good, some idea are smart and creative but the scientific part is all wrong. Gravity and air density do not work like that (ep 1), adaptability doesn't work like that (tidal locked world episode) etc. . Overall, the whole series is a frustration seeing so many good ideas and so much good animation work wasted to completly senseless science behind
-
Science fiction in the literal sense of the word: nicely animated fictitious alien planets are imagined based upon scientific information, fascinating and entertaining.

'Alien Worlds' is an entertaining and thought-provoking series. The CGI is realistic and the amount of detail is impressive. However, the episodes felt a bit short, and only a few species were exhibited in each one. To my mind, it would be a better idea to dedicate each season to solely one planet, so that we can see more of the world-building, since that's what brought me to watch the show in the first place.

I confess, I had pretty high hopes when I found out about this show. You see, I am pretty interested in accurate world-building and the principles that it is based on, so I hoped to gain some original, deeply grounded insight on that matter from the perspective of details from actual science. What I got instead was science-fiction speculation based only loosely on the knowledge of the researchers involved. Do not get me wrong – world-building ideas are still there, but non of them revolutionary, nothing that, let us say, the team behind Cameron's "Avatar" did not do years before. So "Alien Worlds" can be seen as engaging, but, in my opinion, falls flat of the scope of its ambitions – or at least of what it could be. CGI is very fine and all, but it could have been complemented by narration that could have been much more thought-trough.

Ha ha that was dumb just mindless

A speculative alien-nature-doc is the best way to describe this, though it feels like it doesn't have enough footage of these fascinating extra terrestrial life forms and too much humans repeating basic science knowledge.
