Life on Our Planet (2023)

Very beautiful, visual series about how the first life on earth emerged.
Using the latest technology, they bring dinosaurs and other extinct animals to life.
Morgan Freeman's accompanying voice is very well chosen.
When it comes to mosses and insects and so on, it gets a bit boring for me personally.
The various mass extinctions are discussed, with an apocalyptic warning at the end that another mass extinction is underway due to human actions.
Definitely worth taking a look.

Not the best nature documentary ever made. The constant hopping forward and backward in time, often with enormous jumps, sometimes makes the whole thing a bit difficult to follow. Morgan Freeman isn't the most compelling narrator either. Some things are repeated too much, others are treated very superficially. The CGI is of varying quality. Sometimes very beautiful, but some mammals in particular look rather fake, especially in movement and in contact with their environment. Feathers still prove to be difficult. The real nature images, on the other hand, are breathtaking without exception. All in all, nice to see for a concise overview of the history of life on Earth.
