Apple TV is throwing its hat into the nature documentary genre. To its credit, it has created something new in this relatively crowded space. There are only a few different situations that isn't saturated with nature documentary crews; the deepest of oceans and the darkest of nights. Sure, there is footage of animals at night. It's usually those night vision or thermal imaging footage. Somehow, they look alien and disconnecting. By seeing it in daylight conditions, this show is revealing new situations with new footage.
Even something old is presented in new ways. In the artificial city lights, this show has peregrine falcons dive bombing little birds against the backdrop of the glowing cityscape. It looks amazing and new. Then there are new animal situations. The predators are a lot closer in the darkness. There are new animals but even old animals have new behavior. I've never seen a herd of wildebeests following cheetahs around. This is narrated by Tom Hiddleston. He fits the nature documentary space in a new way. He is British like the old doc series, but he is still a new yet familiar voice.
