I’m not a big fan of documentaries, but this was AMAZING. I hope more people watch this so they can make 2nd season, hopefully

I love nature docs 😍 it's the only way most of us get to see parts of the world we never would've got the chance to visit

This is absolutely incredible. Cried twice and I've not even finished it.
The filming is captivating & highly entertaining. A huge well done to everyone who worked on this. Please do more!

This is a next level documentary. The camera work literally puts you inside these two troops of Chimpanzees. And for those that have already watched all of it...when Peterson finds Jackson and holds his hand. ❤😢❤

[Keke]

YESS this is the kind of reality tv I want to see 😊

[tricycle]

I've never seen anything quite like it, this is an incredible documentary. Sensible, epic, gorgeous cinematography, unbelievable immersion (how did they do it?)... I can't praise enough the skill, work and patience of the film-makers and wildlife experts who shot that series, as a viewer it's even flattering to be offered to watch a production of such outstanding quality.

Been to Kibale in Uganda to see them in the wild. Was an amazing experience. It was chaotic and one of the males attacked another male in the trees. The noises they made were something else. A few of them came to the ground and walked off and our tracker guided us to follow them. Was incredible.
Completely different to the Gorilla experience which was silent, calm and almost spiritual.

Cant wait to watch this.

[JohnnychimpO]

These shots are beyond insane… If nothing else, this will be an immense visual spectacle. Super excited!!!

[IIPaleHorseII]

It always blows my mind that dudes just sit in the Jungle and get these amazing shots while being up close and personal with these animals.

[Roman-tuvh]

Nature doc on one of my favorite themes + Mahershala Ali narrarion is a solid fckn gold. Can't wait.

[mdav]

This show is flat out *amazing*. Best thing I have seen in any genre in ages!

[dildobang]

The cinematography on this was spectacular! Hands down! 🙌🏼 the best documentary I’ve seen in years!

[ColofulThought]

This was phenomenal; the video shots, the stories, the relationship to human nature, etc!

[perspellman]

One of the best wild animal documentaries ever made. Fantastic footage.

[lucykeane]

I can't wait for this, it looks amazing. I love any documentary like this when it's about animals. Though I know there will be some parts where I end up crying!
