The first episode was apparently the most watched tv program in the UK this year with over 14 million views (though yesterday's episode has probably even more viewers...).
I was very much entertained by The Deep, where the first episode lacked anything that even remotely looked like a story, this was much better done now. This new series surpasses Planet Earth II in every aspect, except maybe for the music and Planet Earth II was already pretty good (though it had too many lions and showed less new animals/behaviour)...
