Planet Earth not only educates but also tries to tell a story. It makes wild life seem much more interesting, and the breathtaking scenes and cinematography only help that. The show looks simply amazing, and the technologies BBC used for it bring never-seen-before scenery. Even if you don't generally like documentaries, this is really worth it.
Like Carl Sagan's Cosmos but for nature.
Wonderful nature docuseries. The only downside is that it was made before the era of 4K HDR video. More recent nature documentaries tell many of the same stories, but are more visually striking. (And are also narrated by David Attenborough)
My favourite is the 1x08: Jungles... The Ant fungus, followed by the Chimpanzee raids? Nuts.
Amazing! Everyone should see this! And I'm not just saying that because I'm an environmental hippie that likes to learn a bit more about nature, or because David Attenborough is a personal hero of mine, but the images are just so incredibly gorgeous!
Amazing. Stunning. Magnificent. Planet Earth goes where no show has gone before. It captures beautiful images and animals that no one has before captured on film. I was absolutely blown away.

Beautiful, at times breathtaking photography. The amount of hours they put into this is crazy (watch the diaries if possible) but well worth it. This is one, if not the, most comprehensive nature documentary around. And you don´t have to be a nature freak to enjoy this. And with the end of the final episode it conveys a massage we all should think about.
I´ve been watching this ten years after it was released and a man has just become president who thinks climate change is a lie and who would do anything to get into the last nature resorts, just for exploitation, without hesitation. Not that he is the only one but you wonder how it will be ten years from now.
