Looking for a more in-depth documentary/series after watching Life on Our Planet

Hi!

I recently watched Life on Our Planet on Netflix. I found the overall concept fascinating: starting with the earliest forms of life and then following the development of life through the different geological periods, including the major mass extinctions, the rise of different animal groups, and eventually the emergence of humans.

However, I felt that some parts were quite rushed. There is obviously an enormous amount of history to cover in just eight episodes, so some major evolutionary developments were explained quite briefly. I also wasn't a huge fan of the frequent jumps from prehistoric times back to the present day to show modern animals.

What I'm really looking for is something that goes more in-depth and stays chronological.

I'd especially like documentaries that explain what actually changed and why it mattered evolutionarily. For example, why particular groups became dominant, what caused certain groups to disappear, and how one evolutionary development eventually led to another.

I'm also much more interested in good explanations and scientific content than spectacular cinematography. Amazing footage is a bonus, but I care more about good explanation.

I've read that David Attenborough's Life on Earth is great, but I'm not sure if it's available for me to watch (living in The Netherlands). So if you could recommend me a series/documentary that meets this requirements, and is also available for me to watch in The Netherlands (I do have a Netflix- and HBO-account), that would be awesome.

It doesn't have to be one series for the complete story. It's also fine if it only zooms in on a specific period (the rise of the humans for example).

Thanks!

Hardstyle World Cup 2026 - Group A

EDIT: deleted the comments for voting, switched to polls :)

I thought it would be fun to let the community decide who the ultimate Hardstyle artist is.

I've selected 32 artists (based on the top 32 of this post: Monthly Listeners Spotify from u/Crypehead), divided them into 8 groups of 4 (similar to the previous Champions League / World Cup) at random (every group has 1 artist from each pot, based on their rank in the Spotify-post, and we'll determine the champion together.

How it works

  • Each day I'll post a poll for one group.
  • After a day, the top 2 artists qualify for the Round of 16.
  • From there, we'll continue with knockout matches until only one artist remains.

This is all just for fun and represents the opinion of this subreddit at this moment in time.

So for today, I'll create another post with a poll for Group A, and the two artists with the most votes, will go through to the Knockout stage as Winner and Runner-up.

Good luck, and let the voting begin! 🔥

Never Back Down at Rebelion’s Encore could’ve been moment of the year

This could have been the most epic hardstyle moment of 2026 for me.

The Encore-edit that makes this intro even more bombastic/cinematic, then the silence, and then the “Def.. Qon.. 1…”, followed by the epic mid-intro with probably a stage full with sparks, Gary and Raymond both on the desks and a packed Blue to sing along.

Such a shame that we couldn’t experience this live.
