PE2 is a first rate production, as professional and polished as they come. Logical, well structured and visually wonderful.It's also not as good as its predecessor, and the gap between the two series is quite clear. This is because of certain narrative decisions in the Part II. Most noticeably, the thunderously illustrative music gets in the way. This was a small concern with the brilliant first series, but here the music is, well, just bad, to put it bluntly. The sound design is also distractive: the foley work is easily noticeable, and the sound is irritatingly dramatic during the many slow-motion sequences.Another problem is the narration itself, which is written in a story-telling style, wherein the animals are anthropomorphized; binge watching the series, this strikes as infantilism. It doesn't help, that the "jokes" are often really poor.There are a surprising number of sequences revisited from the first series. These could have, mostly, been omitted. Like the wolves chasing the baby caribou.The camera work is quite a marvel - still, personally I prefer the more classical compositions of the first series. But to each his own.All in all, PE2 is still great, but the bar has been somewhat lowered. Compared to PE1, it's lighter and more pompous in tone - and more eager to entertain for entertainment's sake.

The combination of 2 living legends David Attenborough + Hans Zimmer. How better it could be. Thanks BBC Earth and the unsung heroes (The crew)for dedicating years for this amazing project. The music of Hans and the narration of Mr.Attenborough are the highlights of this show and it just doesn't get out of my head !!!

I have seen 4 episodes thus far.Episode one had one remarkable scene. Episode two I loved to death. Episodes three was more and less the same we - fans of nature documentaries - have seen tens of times before. Episode four was better than 3rd, but not by much.I experienced about as many "not this Sh!t again" moments as I had "omg, this is awesome" moments. That's not a good ratio. I definitely recommend watching this, but I can't feel but disappointed. My expectations were definitely not met, but even after saying that, the series should have never gotten the usual 5/10 from me - but that's exactly how good it was. I would be more pleased to see 100 hours of unedited footage without the jokes, slow-motion and musics than I am with this "Took 10 years to make, lasts under 6 hours" cinematic experience which execution reminds me of Michael Bay movie. If you take a look into the episode rating, the series rating doesn't make any sense. 9.7/10, but the episode average is 7.9/10. Seems rigged, I know. It looks like people want to get this on top rather than to rate it for what it is. Planet Earth 1, Life, Frozen Planet, Africa, The Hunt, even Human Planet all are better than Planet Earth 2 is. Just to name few. Even here on IMDb, the episode ratings are better for every show. All of those are solid documentaries. Planet Earth 2 isn't.
