If you watch one wildlife series, make it 'Our Planet'
You've seen one wildlife series presented by the inimitable Sir David Attenborough, you've seen them all, right? Wrong. New Netflix series Our Planet comes at things from a very different angle - one that is incredibly relevant today. Watch the trailer below.
What’s different about this latest docuseries? It ticks all the usual boxes – pristine visuals, up-close access, concise storytelling – but the eight parts focus on habitats that support a wide array of wildlife.
Showing the interconnectedness between habitat and animals, and the impact environmental factors have on both, it is essential viewing in the era of climate change debate. Even the Royal Family, who turned up to the series' premiere and are pictured below with Attenborough, agree.
It is impossible to deny what is happening to Earth when it is shown so vividly - and so worryingly. Our Planet provides a stern warning for the future. (On Netflix from Fri., Apr. 5) 4.5 stars
