It may not have the ultra-high definition of later BBC Nature series, but it's every bit as wondrous and impacting as any made before or since that I have seen.

I've gone through this series beginning-to-end twice, and have seen individual episodes more than that. Narrator Attenborough is second to none in expelling information with an authentic passion for the life on screen. From sharks in a wild feeding frenzy, to penguins shooting out of the water onto an iceberg, to majestic whales and dolphins, to some of the strangest creatures you will ever see in the ocean deep, there is something here for everyone regardless if you're a big nature lover or not. I can give no complaint about the fabulous pacing which never seems to focus on anything for too long or not long enough. The series has eight parts, and while everyone is bound to have their favorites-mine are "Coral Seas" and "Frozen Seas"-all eight are informative, fascinating, with wonderful cinematography, engaging music, and near perfect commentary. But I think my personal favorite is "The Blue Planet" which concerns the life in and around the world's oceans that covers over two-thirds of the Earth's surface. Sadly, however, that is all going to change next month, as the entire collection of BBC Earth titles, including the beloved Planet Earth saga, will be leaving Netflix. Fantastic series from "The Life of Birds" in the 90's to the more recent "Life" and "Frozen Planet" show their exceptional consistency over time. The BBC has proved time and again that they are of the highest caliber in the world in the creation of nature documentaries, especially when the program is accompanied by the narration of the legendary conservationist David Attenborough.
