4.0 out of 5 stars Very creative view of the world, July 22, 2009

This is a great series. I saw the original show which has now been turned into this series (which has been shown on TV). What this does is to raise up your imagination to think on a larger scale about the future. What if so many of our leading scientists are right? What if we are creating a global disaster in environmental terms? This shows what the world will look like if all the human arrogance fails. You must remember that this series is not very likely from a scientific point of view. Sadly, humans will take a larger part of other living things with them if they really make a mess of things. However, what this series does do is make you think about time. The world, nature, is five billion years old. People have been here for a mere 30,000 years. The suicide of our species is a real possibility, although not in the exact manner shown in this series. You should also check out National Geographic: Aftermath - Population Zero as well as some DVDs I have on my Amazon Listmania list on Environment Films which may be in the Listmania section at the bottom of this page.

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating look at earth without man, October 13, 2009

This is an absolutely fascinating show that I think anyone interested in anthropology, really any type of science or humanities would love. It illustrates with astonishing detail all of the mechanisms humans build and use in order to co-exist with nature. And what would happen once humans are gone and they can no longer maintain structures and buildings, trim down kudzu and vacuum up sand to artificially build up beaches around the Hamptons, among many other examples. It is an absolutely intriguing and unforgettable series and I'd recommend it to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Premise, July 29, 2010

I am a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction so was drawn to this scientific series detailing how the world would respond if humans were to disappear. Each installment builds upon the other and beyond the theme of disintegration you are forced to examine man's actual impact and contribution to the earth. In every episode, you witness the epic destruction of iconic structures and buildings, from the Sears Tower to the Sistine Chapel. This includes learning how they were built and why they were so significant. It also tackles the question of what creatures may take our place - what would happen to our pets is particularly interesting. The series suffers from some repetition and pace is an issue but overall a cool premise that is well executed.
