Bloody hell…I though FP1 and poor seals was bad enough but those killer whales in this new series are even more scary in their intelligence…gobsmacking, jaw dropping

I’ve just said to DP, it’s like watching a horror film, these poor calves 😢

I mean, how awful is that? Bear attacks calf...herd runs off and the other poor calves left behind think the bear is their mum so go towards it and whack! Even the calf whose mum comes back for it looks like it's going to struggle. Did I hear 90% don't make it?

That's a hard watch.

That wee muskox baby..and when it was reunited..I was in tears!

I really should stop watching these things. I get upset by it but it's just nature 'red in tooth and claw'. I know the bear's got to eat and maybe it's got cubs too but does it have to go overboard like that!

Right, thats decided me.. I won't be watching it!

I haven't watched a David Attenborough series for years for this very reason. So upsetting. Why does he have to have jeopardy every bloody time.

Or why can't he have a bit about killer whales being very clever rather than seals being in danger if that makes any sense.

It's such a shame as the camera work deserves to be seen - he does the crews an injustice because I know I'm not the only one who can't bear to watch.

Yep, the speed the mums ran off at is probably why only 10% make it- don’t strike you as sharpest mums on the block🤦‍♀️I thought they’d turn around and circle round like you see buffolo or Bisen do…what’s the point of those horns 🤷🏼‍♀️🙄

No those killer whales were so worryingly seriously clever…they’re coming for us next 😱🤣

Second attempt..

I watched the 2nd one and in places it was too hard to watch again. The running theme that we are all to blame for the melting of the ice and climate change as a furry white seal pup gets swept away from its mother on a block of ice. The narrative that very few pups survive as they're not strong enough to swim in the fierce ocean. The look of terror in its huge eyes. Awful. The end showed the boat and divers swimming with the pup and made me wonder if we are to blame, why can't we do something to help the poor thing instead of just watching it drift away?
