Well if I could sum up this series in one word it would be GRIM.
I don't know if the intention was shock and awe but I am not enjoying this series like I did the last one. The camera work and editing is beautiful but the theme seems to be "how animals die" rather than "how animals survive" in the frozen parts of the world. There is a lot of blood and violence, which is natural and I have no problem with them including but it needs to be balanced with some happiness too. Adding in more scenes of birth and play would make it a better and more enjoyable show.
And of course all the preaching about the environment gets old after a few episodes too.
