Life!

For any of you who are Discovery Fans, and in particular HD Discovery (if you have the luxury of owning an HD Package from your local television provider), then you might be interested in a new show airing Sunday nights called Life.

It's in the same stream as Planet Earth, and, in fact, David Attenborough narrates the Life series as well (whom I could listen to endlessly for his lovely British accent...). We are already half way through the Planet Earth series, and are mesmerized by the scenery and live action shots, and Life just takes it one step further, including new and exciting features.

How they put such an impressive compilation together, both in Life and Planet Earth, is beyond me, but I'm thoroughly glad they did! It must take hours upon hours of sitting and waiting to capture just the right scene. Some of the shots they gather, David informs us, have never before been captured on video.

Disney also "borrowed" some of the content for their recent release Earth, which they released under their new brand Disney Nature, and this one focuses more on the happy stories of the animals, for the children, of course. The Life series, not so much... it's the gory truth about real life in the wilderness, and for those of you who can stomach 10 kimono dragons feasting on a fallen water buffalo, then this show is for you!

Ok, they have some not-so-gory parts, too, which are really beautiful and brilliant, but you'll have to just tune in and see for yourself what they include.
