Planet Earth II is an upcoming BBC natural history series that will be presented by David Attenborough, and scored by Hans Zimmer.
It is a sequel to the highly successful Planet Earth series that was broadcast in 2006. The series will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC One HD in October and November 2016.
It's simply magnificent, even more than I imagined.
The cinematography is astounding, from the quality panning to the environmental compositions, and the animals themselves, the true protagonists. The birds, the dramatic iguana scene (it kept me on the edge of my seat xD), the penguins and their inaccessible island, so many different and unexpected feelings.
Hans Zimmer's music is spot-on also. It's very 'aggressive' so to speak, and probably this could annoy those who are looking for something more traditional, but I think it's a combo that works really well. And good old Sir David <3
You should get the internet, I've read that it allows you to download things

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!
another great ep, loved it more than the first one, especially the bobcat and flamingo scenes.
the transitions between scenes are so abrupt and sudden sometimes though, and like when the bobcat was on the boulders the sound just went from 80% to 20% really suddenly, might've just been the rip that was shit.
Thanks! Indeed, rewatching the original season in proper 1080p is something that I'll do in the future, since I went with the peasant, pixelated version back in the day. Not that my standards have improved, but still
Will also have to watch The Hunt as suggested by Leo^^
(50+ seeders using combined trackers from rarbg and zooqle - it's the same torrent)
Not exactly a fresh encode (uses x264 version from 2008), but (unfortunatelly) there is no better 1080p bluray encode available AFAIK
Update on this:
I completed the download, and I'm not satisfied
First three episodes are encoded to target ~3.2 GB per file, so the quality is just plain bad. The other ones are ~4.3 GB per episode and sport a decent picture, but still not even close to the encodes done with modern x264 encoder versions. Old x264 is old (2008), no postprocessing can fix that.
If you already have 720p HDDVD ESiR encode, stick to it. Way better quality (beside lower resolution) and will save you ~15 GB of HDD space. Or just buy the blurays, it's 22 pounds on Zavvi.
