The show is PG-rated but there is nothing here to scare even the nerviest child.
It is presented by David Attenborough and made by the BBC’s Natural History Unit, but of course the BBC could not afford a show like this – Apple have clearly thrown a huge amount of money in its direction. The show takes the template of BBC natural history series such as Planet Earth and replaces lions and meerkats and whales and what-have-you with dinosaurs. The dinosaurs look as real as any animal you see in a wildlife documentary. You may be a jaded old person who thinks, “Isn’t this just like Walking with Dinosaurs or Jurassic Park without Jeff Goldblum?” but several minutes in, my six-year-old turned to me in wonder and asked: “Is this real?”Īnd that is not really a silly question, because Prehistoric Planet is a stunning feat of CGI.
If you don’t have a dinosaur-loving child with whom to watch Prehistoric Planet (Apple TV+), may I suggest you borrow one? They are the target market, and they will love it.
