SPECIAL PREMIERE: This new special, presented by BBC America and simulcast on sister networks such as IFC and Sundance, is the best sort of TV recycling. It takes a series of the best sequences from previous outstanding documentary miniseries
Planet Earth II and
Blue Planet II, and re-edits them, with new narration by David Attenborough and new music by Hans Zimmer and others. No question about it: There’s a staggering amount of natural beauty on hand here. And Attenborough, as always, is to be treasured no less than the lands and creatures he so lovingly describes. For full reviews, see
David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower, and
Mike Hughes' Open Mike.
