I have run into this series when I was scouring the net looking for a documentary series to watch, as most of movies and TV series are just rife and riddled with wanton violence, gore and sick sex. The cinematography in this series is just gorgeous, the amount of data conveyed to the viewers is great. The camerawork is amazingly close to the actions and breathtakingly display behavior of the sea creatures. However, it is lamentably lacking is a good narrator. The stunning filmography could have been supplemented and actually become perfect with a soothing velvety voice over. The legend, Sir. David Attenborough could have added that amazing quality to this series.

Stunning Documentary This series is the first major documentary produced by BBC covering the gorgeous wildlife and awe-inspiring sceneries and landscapes of Asia. I think it was a much needed, and for me, a long awaited series as Asia is the largest continent in the world with mesmerizing landscapes, ancient enchanted forests, magical deserts and bewitching wildlife. As usual with BBC documentary series, the cinematography is striking, camerawork is amazing and the efforts poured into making this series for four years is admirable. On top of all these is the velvety voiceover of the legendary naturalist, Sir David Attenborough that adds a soothing touch to the series. It is a respite, a reprieve from all the harrowing and sanguine happenings now engulfing the continent. This series is portraying the beautiful and majestic side of the continent, the side that, if seen, heeded and pored over by people in power, might change their perception of the world and life in not only in the continent but in the world.

Documentary movies and series about wildlife are always fascinating, especially those about lions. I appreciate all the good efforts of cameramen who document the life and behavior of lions, leopards and cheetahs and there is no denying their risky and arduous work. This series was supposed to be big cats, showcasing their behavior and daily lives in the wild. However, most of the time in this series has been wasted on unnecessary talking of cameramen (women). I really liked to see more of the big cats not the constant chatter of the cameramen. They could allocate a whole episode to the good work of cameraman. Thus, we could enjoy the lives of the majestic cats and appreciate the arduous work of the cameramen.
