11 Reasons Why Planet Earth 2 Is The Best TV Show Ever
If you haven't watched the series thus far I would recommend clicking out of this article, getting a pile of tissues ready and watching all three episodes in succession.
Planet Earth Two is the follow-up series to 2006's highly popular Planet Earth. The documentary series is narrated by none other than David Attenborough, and uses incredible new technology and unbelievable cinematic shots to explore the life of animals from around the globe.
The series is spectacular and here are some reasons why it's the best documentary TV series ever.
1. David's voice is as smooth as chocolate
As much as the camera shots are amazing, they really wouldn't be anything without good old David. His voice brings vitality and warmth to whatever he's narrating.
2. You become emotionally invested in the animals
THAT LIZARD SCENE. I've never rooted for a lizard until this TV show aired, it will have you on the edge of your seat.
3. You get to see extremely rare animals from all over the world
In incredible HD quality.

4. You learn things like jaguars eat crocodiles
Mind, blown.
5. The sloth swimming scene was bloody GAS

6. Attenborough's comic timing is perfection
And it's always around the mating scenes, rawr.
7. Finding out how the episode's made at the end is just the best
That penguin shoot looked tough.
8. The score is done by Hans Zimmer and will make you weep
It's so powerful and is composed by the same man who created The Lion King, The Dark Knight and Pirates Of The Caribbean, if that's not enough of a reason I don't know what is.
9. You are guaranteed to cry at some stage
The most heartbreaking scene was of the chinstrap penguins getting battered by the waves. Their poor bodies were covered in blood, it's tear-jerking stuff.

10. You will see things you've genuinely never seen before
Like sloths hugging, hummingbirds in slow motion, glow in the dark worms, monkeys dangling to their near death and a glimpse at the newly discovered Araguaia dolphin. You will be wowed.
