Documentary

Beautifully filmed, brilliantly packaged, and utterly depressing – despite all the unique, novel, or never-before-seen behaviour. A great series; a harrowing message.

A solid piece of spec-bio with a diverse range of specialists involved, though a little overly simplified in terms of the science presented and with a slightly lacklustre final episode.

A decent look at some of the architectural achievements of ancient China, with fascinating subjects and a good depth of knowledge, even if a tad over dramatic.

Interesting subject matter, but poorly explained and with some weird conclusions.

A brilliant and deeply personal introspection of an incredible individual. A truly nuanced and exacting character analysis and a documentary style which I hope to see emulated much more in the future.

A welcome return, albeit a little short and sanitised.

Visually and audibly stunning; season one pushed the boundaries so much it still feels relevant, whilst season two presented a more intimate and mature version of the natural world. Arguably the gold standard in nature documentaries.

The best dinosaur documentary ever made, and one of the finest pieces of scientific outreach ever.

A fitting tribute to an amazing man and author. If you're a fan of Discworld or anything Pratchett, do not miss this documentary.
