planet earth is one of, not only mine but my family’s, favorite documentary series. In my family we all have an appreciation for the various sciences, but we love natural sciences the most. my dad had bought the complete dvd set and we all got around to watch it one day when we got snowed in by a blizzard. The documentary is the standard i hold to all nature documentaries. There’s never any signs of humans, or their tampering, and the narration is in post, so that you don’t have to hear a man talking through the elements. While the primary focus is the animals in the environs they go to, they also go over plant life, or the general conditions of said place; leaving no spare detail untold. it encapsulates everything about life in general, and the cinematography of it all is enough to make you weep. You can find on Netflix, or that this link here. I usually put in at night to fall asleep cuz I’ve seen it so many times.
Planet earth is also one of my favorite things to watch. there is something so appealing about learning about strange animals and the environment they live in. At work all of us, young and old, watch documentaries about alligators, polar bears, or crows when we have free time. There is something very soothing and grounding about it. It helps me realize how small I am and how big the world is. I also believe education on these animals is very important especially with the climate conditions we are having. The Planet Earth series spend a lot of effort, time, and money into the series and it shows.
