Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 10/30/2023
There’s a sadness to Attenborough these days. He doesn’t even try to hide it. The wonder is still there too, but it is a wonder that has shifted from “look at all this amazing stuff!” to “look how amazing it is that all this stuff is still clinging on”.

4/5
At a time when there is so much uncertainty in the world, how enormously reassuring to know Attenborough is still on hand to share his passion with us. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 10/23/2023
4/5
This series is magnificent, but it’s a fast track to becoming really quite sad. Go to Full Review Joly Herman Common Sense Media 11/16/2023
5/5
There's nothing like the present moment to create a better future, this show seems to say. Kids and parents will have lots to talk about after viewing this series together. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 11/06/2023
This is what Attenborough offers -- continuity and perspective. He knows what is happening to the world because he has observed it for himself. He is a walking, talking chronicle of all that has been done and remains to be done. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) 10/23/2023
All this is narrated in the reassuring Attenborough style, always erudite but never pompous, and with that edge of mischievous humour. Though he'd scoff at the notion, his touch has become almost supernatural. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

eli g @RT98350317 Jul 29 I was raised on David Attenborough and even at his great age I still find his passion and love for nature inspiring. See more Brandon K @TheKeizer Jun 12 The most mesmerizing, high quality, and impressive nature doc ever made to date. It blows the first and second planet earth out of the water in terms of quality, storytelling, and camera shots. See more Laurence S @RT97925517 11/06/2023 David A back at his best, he manages to do this without the hyperbole and over dramatic soundtrack of other attempts to present nature shows, where everything is an existential event. He approaches actual existential events in a logical and well explained manner. See more Serena B @RT70370849 11/04/2023 I really loved it. An amazing shortish film to watch with family. I never realised such crazy fish existed!!! Absolutely loved See more Regal P @RT18105262 11/03/2023 Planet Earth III provides an amazing view of Earth's wildlife and natural places while also giving an important message that cannot be ignored. See more Niko O @nikos819 11/01/2023 wow! must see action. this is next level documentary as expected. must see for all animal lovers and all lovers of life See more Read all reviews
