Such a frustrating disappointment

Excellent, a Must See

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

North America is an other one of the documentary about the corners of the world in which wild life does its thing and the inhabitants try to survive. To be honest I have seen more or less a dozen of this type of documentaries and see one more I was thinking " The faction of that is out and the documentary number 17 is unnecessary and what has more to give?". It was fine ,but didn't give me something I didn't already know.For starter I have been watching wild life series since I was nine years old ,so I can say that I know well these series. North America just show you the creatures of the wild west (wow what a twist) ,again the California coast and the Midwest. Although the series isn't badly made or be offending to the audience the fact it doesn't try to be original just gives me a dejavou filling yet again. That is tiring and frankly why eat again pizza when I have eaten every combination imagine?If you like it ,fine I don't blame you it is an entertaining documentary and the images showed are good looking. My problem is it doesn't give something new and that's an issue with the majority of the documentaries nowadays ,it seem, they have been out of content and they just give you the same things again about WW2, Dinosaurs, Vietnam, Irak , Rome, WW1, Inventions, China and so on.In the end as said by Immortal Joe himself :" Mediocre!" ,no originally is a sign a laziness on the creatures part and I want to see new content for ones ,I crave it since 2013. Three whole years, even if you aren't an expert ,you can get that the documentary genre is stagnating.

I am not going to say much about this except that since the show was filmed by the same company that filmed such great shows like Planet Earth, Life, and Blue Planet. Anyone who watches this miniseries should expect spectacular visuals that include some amazing, never before filmed animal behavior.However, unlike the aforementioned Planet Earth, Life, and Blue Planet miniseries, it seems like there will not be a version of this that assumes the viewers have an intelligence beyond that of a simple watermelon. Unfortunately, it seems like The Discovery Channel thinks its American viewers are a lot that has a very low level of intelligence. If you have seen the BBC edition of any of the other series I mentioned and have contrasted them against the Discovery Channel's Americanized versions, then you will understand what I am saying as this series' narration once again falls into the very dumbed-down category.As an example, and possible spoiler, I was left wondering why does the tide in the Bay of Fundy behave as it does? If there were a "smart" version of this series, my bet is that that question would have been covered.Nevertheless, the visuals are spectacular. Next time, Discovery Channel, how about giving your American audience the respect they deserve and giving them something that is on par with BBC versions of these shows. Americans are not just watermelons.

I am a fan of wildlife documentaries and take in as many as I can. I live in Washington State where we do have our share of wildlife. First of all the plus points: It has been beautifully photographed with great attention to detail and the sequences under water have been quite breathtaking. On the ground the one eyed bobcat hunting gulls and the intelligent hunting by the wolves has also been beautifully photographed.Tom Selleck does a great job narrating in subdued though expressive tones and this is a good accompaniment to the already mentioned superb photography.Now the BIG negative. The music choice. Playing 'wild thing' when the snakes are mating and California dreamin (that hippie drug anthem) whilst showing the west coast is completely unnecessary and in a way displays a lack of respect to the dignity of what we are watching.

WITH SO MANY nature films stockpiled, how few pay any attention to what is essentially our "back yard"(here in the United States). It is indeed a pleasure to see and hear about the incredible interactions between the Flora, Fauna and the ever-changing Weather of our Continent.IT WOULD APPEAR that generally we as a viewing public seem to prefer such nature documentaries to be set in more exotic venues; or so it would seem that way to the studios, producers and networks. One only need look at the list of previous popular films and series. From those Safari Movies of Martin & Osa Johnson through the present day PBS staples,such as NATURE, and you'll see that programs centering on our continent are numbered among a small minority.WE STUMBLED UPON this gem tonight, quite by accident. The filming, editing and varying subject matters all have come together in making it a delight to the senses. The two installments that we watched on the DISCOVERY CHANNEL proved to be as entertaining as they were informative. (Even "Educational", if you will).HERE'S HOPING that NORTH America will have a long life and that it will be prolific and spawn many like series in the future.
