What do you think? Do you like The Americas TV series on NBC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
This is a really good show, the imaginary and facts are amazing, nice to see something besides fluff and drama on NBC, it would get better ratings if NBC advertised it more.
Viewers of this series will see sights they have never seen, nor will they EVER see IRW.
Stupendous.
I truly love the episodes I’ve seen. The filming of all of the animals is fabulous. It is wonderful to see how the animals live and survive. I will continue watching the series. Tom Hanks does a great job narrating.
This is absolutely must-see TV.
Magnificent, glorious photography, stitched together by perfect editing. A warm, good-natured, excellently-written narration by Tom Hanks.
A visual feast for nature and Earth-lovers. Bravo!
