I feel like all their animal documentaries have been on Netflix before? In a different edit

 

[RPhoto]

This appeals to me in spectacular fashion!

 

[BJMRamage]

looks good but I do love a nature documentary...guessing just 6 episodes

 

[mcfrazieriv]

Americans and the weird obsession with English Accents. This one is just bad.
Tom as the bad dude in avengers = good.
Tom as the bad narrator in apple documentary = meh.

Isn’t this already on Netflix?

 

[LeadingHeat]

Link for the video isn’t working for me.

Edit: seems to be fixed now. This actually looks pretty awesome. I’ll probably give it a go!

I've never really understood the use (and expense) of using celebrities to do 100% off-screen narration of documentaries. Do people really go "omg Loki off of the Avengers is narrating a natural history series, must watch!"?

Sometimes I'll watch a documentary without realising it's a well known actor/actress doing the narration until I notice it in the credits at the end, which always leaves me thinking "oh, was that them?" but I never really feel what I've just watched was any better because of that.

 

[Saturn1995]

Non-fiction/doc series (especially nature) are a safe bet. But I'm okay with that. They should stick to things they know they can be good at until they find their footing.

 

[dancochran]

All nature documentaries should be narrated by Christopher Gordon of Honey Badger fame!

 

[Cosmosent]

Bravo AAPL !

Very interested in seeing Advanced Camera Tech used to capture Nature @ night !

Push the boundaries in every way possible !

 

[BF1M]

I wonder what this is about?

 

[Joniz]

I guess they were waiting on the iPhone 12 Pro Max to get this filmed.

 

[Ar40]

Looks good. Apple's nature documentaries have been stellar.

Lol. They have found their footing. Apple TV+ had its footing right out of the gate. The quality is unquestionable and as good as HBO. It's just not enough quantity.

if the Voice is good. I don't mind. I liked narrations by Morgan Freeman, Tom Selleck, and Mike Rowe (the latter not as much of a celebrity but...) but sometimes the narration voices aren't quite as believable and then it seem a bit lesser.

Indeed
I most likely love Earth At Night In Color, except for the American narrator...Ugh, horrible.

All nature documentaries should be narrated by Christopher Gordon of Honey Badger fame!

Even worse.

 

[McG2k1]

Was this all black magic cinema cam 4k? most of the night time footage I’ve seen from that looks like this.

Even worse.

Hiddleston is British.

 

[Ghost31]

You had me at Loki. Ready for him to make love to my ears

Yeah, started watching “Tiny” last night and all 3 of us had the “wait a minute, we have seen this before” feeling at the moment. I am pretty sure I have seen the low light one before too.
They have a year of the free with device to get me. So far they have not pushed me away but they certainly have not pulled me in.

 

[rhinosrcool]

Well, I’m looking forward to seeing this.

 

[justperry]

Hiddleston is British.

Ouch..touché.

But then again, this is typical American style narrating...

 

[nwcs]

So is this another edited BBC production or one using footage for hire? I wonder how long we will have the opportunity to enjoy true nature at the rate things are being developed and deforested these days.

I love programs like this. I’ve been a frequent viewer of David Attenborough’s ‘Planet earth’ series in the past, which is also something I highly recommend On BBC.
