Amazing show! Some of the most beautiful images and stories of people living in wild nature that I've ever seen. From the deserts to the iceworlds to the jungles, it is unbelievable (literally unbelievable!) to see how these people go about their daily lives.

After seeing this show it makes you wonder; are our luxury lives really better than their poor, dangerous lives? If we can believe the behind-the-scenes interview with the cameramen the answer would be no: these people might live in the face of danger and die sooner, but they live their lives much fuller than our routine 9 to 5 city lives. Perhaps the best of both world would be nicest, but how to realize that? Food for thought!

If you know BBC productions like f.e. Blue Planet I & II you already know the kind of work and dedication that went into those shows. Human Planet is no exception. But, as the title says, it is about humans and not about wild life. It shows how people have adapted to live in diferent environments. And that means, above all, hunting. So a large part of this show deals with hunting, with killing animals to survive. If you don't like that you should probably skip this. I know that all of this is part of life and that those people really hunt to live. That they don't threaten animal population. Nevertheless I don't think it is nessessary to show multiple hunting scenes in every episode but that is up to ones personal taste. But it also shows what humans are cabable off doing with what little means they have at their disposal.
Still, from all the BBC nature/wild life documentaries I have seen so far this is my least favorite.

This documentary is amazing. Really well produced. And the narrator's voice is as charming as Sir David Attenborough. 10/10

Thanks to @Draackje @dunpealhunter & this promo [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRPD_2TGQts] I have to see this!!!

It's a really great documentary. Kinda puts your own life and daily problems into perspective. Definately watch it!

Added to Watch List, I heard Planet Earth is another great one.

This is an incredible nature documentary. If you want to see how people manage to live in the most remote and dangerous places in the world than you should see this documentary. It really puts things in perspective, while we are watching this from our cozy warm houses on a HDTV televison there are people all over the world who have never even heard of a television trying to survive in a hostile environment. A great addition are the last 10 minutes of each episode called behind the lens. It shows how the camera people managed to make the documentary in the first place. I always wondered how they managed to make those parts in nature documentaries. Its really interesting to see and it shows the contrast in how western people do things and how the indigenous people do it.
