Is it for me?
Creature-feature fans who want animals beyond dinosaurs will get their fill, with the science kept to the big picture. Each episode closes with a short present-day segment that ties the ancient disaster to an environmental worry now, and some viewers find that climate message unnecessary. The computer-animated beasts and landscapes look stunning, and Josh Goodman narrates.
Before you start
Every episode is a standalone hour set in a different era, so you can watch them in any order.
