I haven't seen these documentary series. Not sure if worth the spend. Saw it on discount at a retailer.

    Yes.  It’s beautiful and definitely re-watchable.

    Thanks. I don't get out in nature often, perhaps watching it on a tv might provide me some pleasure.

    Is that the Attenborough series from 2006?  Netflix has season one on DVD.  Maybe I'll check it out.
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Can't wait to get into it. If you cannot physically get out into nature, even looking at it on television or images can have positive effects for your mental health.

    We recently purchased a Samsung 43" LED/LCD and I have a blu ray player and soundbar.
    I look forward to it. I watched a blu ray last night and was blown away at the clarity and the footage is from the early 70s.

    So I unwrapped the first series and the cover is cracked and insides is all broken and a disc is scratched.
    Grrrr. Was looking forward to watching it tonight.
    Returning it for an exchange tomorrow. I hope the retailer gives me another copy.
