The Hunt

9.2 | 6h0m | en | Documentary

The contests between predators and prey are the most critical events in nature. The outcome of these interactions is seldom a foregone conclusion. For both sides, it is a matter of life and death. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, this series takes an intimate look at the remarkable strategies of hunters and, in some cases, the hunted, exploring the challenges animals face and the tactics they employ. It is how animals respond to a particular challenge that determines whether they are successful. The strategies of both predators and prey are shaped by where they live, so each episode focuses on one principal habitat, whether savannah, jungle or ocean.

lbjace This tv series is incredible. I'm blown away by the camera work, the scenes they managed to capture and the story!!! They tell a story with each episode or part that just plays on all the emotions. I found myself rooting for the predator, then the prey, then back to the predator, etc. it's just incredible. Easily one of the best things I've ever watched. It's incredibly raw and brutal at times. Not with blood and guts, nothing explicit, just the story!!! Have I mentioned the story??? Haha, wonderful. 10/10.
Benjamin Mole I grew up watching documentaries; Life of Birds, the Living Edens, Blue Planet. I've seen loads of documentaries in the last 20 years and own a lot of the BBC nature docos on BLu ray. So don't take it lightly when i tell you this is on another level. Everything about this series is a cut above. The narration is emotional and compelling, the score is moving and inspiring and the footage is simply breathtaking. The footage in this show is astounding in a way i never could have expected. Shots of animals doing things that you'd only read about. I want to personally shake the hand of everyone who worked on this show for bringing me such joy, with some sections moving me to tears. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this show
Adam Whitmore This series from the BBC is easily one of the best nature documentaries ever made. An introductory episode is followed by five more episodes covering the contest between predators and prey in different types of ecosystem – the Artic, forests, the oceans, open plains, and coasts. There is a final episode on the challenges of conservation. The filming is quite simply staggeringly good. The filmmakers seem to have been constantly pushing themselves to film new things, and film things seen before in new and more effective ways. Animals are often close up and at eye level with moving cameras, complemented at times by superb footage from the air, giving many sequences a unique immediacy. Polar bears and cheetahs have been filmed many times, but never like this. In contrast, no-one had ever filmed a blue whale feeding before (the filming was carried out under a scientific research permit) and the work stretched over two years until they finally got the footage. Very occasionally the team don't quite get the perfect shot – a tiger kills with a tree between it and the camera, for example – but this mainly serves to remind you that this is all for real. David Attenborough's commentary is, as usual, extremely well judged and the music is effective and largely enhances the material. The editing, while never too squeamish about showing reality, avoids undue emphasis on the animals' suffering. The ten minute making of segments at the end of each episode are often as interesting as the programmes themselves, offering a fascinating insight into the amount of work that went into getting some of these sequences, and the elation when they get the shot. The Hunt is a beautiful, awe-inspiring, moving and informative series. It is hard to imagine how even the BBC wildlife team will be able to surpass this.
Sausage1 The Hunt is yet another spectacular offering from the BBC, voiced by the legendary David Attenborough & with the stunning backdrop of natures hunters going about their business, it is an absolute must see. The opening 2 episodes have delivered what you would expect from the BBC, stunning shots & footage of animals like we have never seen before. From monster crocs waiting patiently to feed, tiny spiders that can fire web like Spiderman, Polar Bears making us laugh as they try to sneak up on seals, it's incredible stuff. This joins a long line of Attenborough and BBC nature films, and yet again they have delivered beautifully.9/10 so far from me.Sausage1 United Kingdom
