I have absolutely loved the Planet Earth series since it first came out in 2006. I own all three of these series on 4K DVD. I love watching how beautiful the world is in stunning 4K, and have the greatest respect for all of these videographers who have spent years and f their lives out in the wild to allow the population to see things we would never normally see.
However, every single episode has heartbreaking video footage of animals, dying, being killed, or their eco-systems being destroyed. My argument is we do not need to see this in every episode. I don't like the way the series has changed into the overly dramatic. We all know that it's survival of the fittest in nature. But I've had multiple people sit down and try to watch this with me, but end up saying something like: "you have to turn this off." Or "can't have my kids watch this." It's way too sad. It never used to be this way.
