LIFE ON OUR PLANET

[CarnotaurusKing]

Another paleo-documentary (not that I'm complaining). CGI's a step-up from Stephen Fry's "Dinosaur", and it's not often you see Anchiornis or Maiasaura (?) in a paleo-documentary. Also happy we're covering the Palaeozoic as well. Mixed feelings about the Jurassic Park roar from the Tyrannosaurus though. Overall, however, I'm excited.

Just wow. I didn't expect much at first, but this has surpassed my expectations. Such beautiful animation, and surprisingly good dinosaur designs. Plus the fact that it is on Netflix, and this seems like a decent documentary already.

[Carnoking]

I'm not super taken just yet in regards to the paleo aspect (obviously the nature doc stuff looks just as good as you'd hope). I think Prehistoric Planet has just set too high a bar for me

Nice to have another prehistoric documentary popping up, and with beyond the Mesozoic. I'm also looking forward to those other nature docs on the way. Anyways, it really does feel like we're in a rebirth of documentaries post Prehistoric Planet (never mind the Forgotten Bloodlines: Agate one with Daeodon, etc still being worked on). Prehistoric Planet may have set the bar high, but at least these designs look good. Very glad to see the Paleozoic in some way will be featured as well what with that Arthropleura they teased.

I've seen on instagram that Morgan Freeman will be narrating this series, which has got me excited as well. He might not be Sir David Attenborough, but he does have a great voice for narrating docs. Here's an article confirming it:

Lol at the JP T. rex roar. I think it was just a place holder thrown in there. Didn't quite sync up with the animation there.

It's been too long since we've had some good dino docs. Hopefully Prehistoric Planet was just the first of a long line of new shows. It looks fantastic, and I don't even need to get a new streaming service just to watch this one show! Interestingly they've decided to make what I think is their Anchiornis blue. Were the black feathers rolled back on or is this just some form of sexual dimorphism?

This looks good. Honestly, they all do. Looking forward to all of them.

I think it is just the lighting, but I may be wrong. Will double check.

Edit: Checked again, 100% just the lighting making it seem blue.

Very excited for all of them, especially Our Universe.

As for the prehistoric ones, they look really nice. However the animations, especially the roaring, is very unnatural.
I hope it is of prehistoirc Planet quality, i suppose so

[Bread]

I think this looks great!

I am not worried about CGI quality. I feel like Prehistoric Planet was at such a high quality due to its funding and those who were part of it. I feel as though other documentaries should not be put down or compared to Prehistoric Planet's CGI quality.

A paleo documentary can be just as good or even better than Prehistoric Planet despite lesser quality in CGI/Visual Effects.

Hyped for more content!

Glad I have Netflix I'm definitely checking this out. I wonder if this is a multi episode series. Definitely the best looking cgi paleo stuff I've seen since Prehistoric Planet.

Just checked it's 8 parts that's awesome.

[Concavenator]

That looks great! Too bad I don't have Netflix.

That looks great! Too bad I don't have Netflix. 

I'd be open to create a temporary netflix account to share amongst a group here.

I also don't have netflix but when this is released, I will be creating a temporary account.

Very generous of you.

[Faelrin]

Isn't Netflix charging more for people that share accounts now (or will be soon)? I heard quite a bit of a fuss regarding something like that.

[Duna]

Oh, that looks very promising!! 

As @Bread has said, Walking With Dinosaurs was an incredible documentary without a superhigh quality of CGI, and so I expect this to be so! And the CGI looks very good, too.

Go on, Netflix!! We love prehistoric life!

I feel I should clarify that I don't feel the CGI is bad, far from it, and I wouldn't be surprised if it receives additional refinement before the actual release given how a common a practice that is when it comes to finalizing VFX. I'm just not quite sold on some of the movement and designs just yet.
YET being the operative word given that we've only seen precious little of the paleo aspect of the series and, like I said, additional tweaks could be underway. Either way, I'm keen to see more and am glad more services are throwing good money and effort into creating quality paleo documentaries.

[Pliosaurking]

I'm excited for all these documentaries!
The prehistoric doc looks very good And while it's not Prehistoric Planet, (I don't think anything will top it, anytime soon) I'm glad animals from multiple time periods are being featured, and Morgan Freeman is the narrator!

[Halichoeres]

I have found Netflix documentaries really hit-or-miss, but I'll definitely check this one out. I'm stoked to see the Arthropleura wrestling (mating?).

You can already tell from the animal design that they didnt listen to the consultants like they did on PrePlanet

Of course! My only issue would be we need some sort of discord/email group chat, or whatever, to really be sure this can work.
And again, I'd only have it open for a week or two, depending on the release date(s) of episodes, which are hopefully all at once or each day and episode releases.

Isn't Netflix charging more for people that share accounts now (or will be soon)? I heard quite a bit of a fuss regarding something like that.

I believe you can only have 3-4 user profiles within the account. That's all I know. If they are charging more, I'll just have the shared users compensate the additional fee. If that makes sense.
