These images will stick with you. But so will an overall sense that Frozen Planet is more--a lot more--of the same: an aestheticized, sentimentalized, anthropomorphic abstraction of the natural world, in which gentle soundtrack music, winsome narration (by Alec Baldwin, replacing Mr. Attenborough for most of the American version) and the judicious use of slow motion combine to put us in a pleasant stupor on the couch.

An amazing TV show. This show is a more extreme versions of Life and Planet Earth. With stunning footage, and animals you will never forget, this is a show you should see immediately. Very few documentaries in history have gone to so many extremes to make such an amazing show.

I honestly can't think of any way it could have been improved upon. It should be compulsory viewing in all schools so that today's children have an idea of what their world, outside texting and video games, is actually like.

This is a 9.25 out of 10, but rounding. This is a great Tv show. Sound is pretty good, and Alec Baldwin is all right. So informational. The content is just great. It's also great seeing all the different species of animals. You should watch this.

The incredible photography work has captured some of the most indelible images I've ever seen on television. This is the kind of programming HDTV was made for.
