Description

What would happen if every human being on Earth disappeared? This isn t the story of how we might vanish it is the story of what happens to the world we leave behind. Building off the success of the HISTORY two-hour special Life After People, this series continues the exploration of a world wiped clean of humanity, in even more vivid detail. Each episode is a stunningly graphic examination of how the very landscape of planet Earth would change in our absence, using cinematic CGI to reveal in scientific detail the fate of every aspect of the man-made world. What happens to the millions of animals that supply our food? The chemicals stored in industrial complexes? Which animals take over subways? Do satellites fall to Earth? When does Mt. Rushmore wither away? Every episode will unfold in the hours, days, months and years after people disappear and will combine three to four different kinds of stories, from animal outbreaks to structural collapses, building to a unique visual finale. Welcome to Earth, population zero.

  • Nothing is permanent
Excellent overview of an extinct world with top-notch computer imagery, interviews with 'deterioration' experts, and on scene footage of actual abandoned towns, buildings etc. My only complaint is one I have written about many times before: poor dvd quality. These discs were far from the worst-read UNIVERSAL produced t.v. series-but some discs froze from time to time, but I was able to watch in their entirety without too much delay. ... show more

  • NO SUBTITLES
I watched this show some years ago & enjoyed it very much. When it was on TV it had subtitles but this whole series HAS NONE. I have poor hearing & subtitles are a "must". I 'm giving a poor rating as not only are there no subtitles, but the sound mixing is TERRIBLE. Spoken words are slurred together & background sounds & music override speech most of the time. The show is very imaginative & informative, but that's all. Best watched with sound muted. ... show more

  • A Desolate Planet Recovers From The Human Imprint
Love this series, a thought provoking look at just how insignificant we are in the scheme of things; and just how quickly the earth will purge all traces of our existence in a relative short amount of time. Now about the availability, this is where I am puzzled. The premiere episode and season 2 are readily available with both DVD and blu ray formats to pick from. Why is season 1 in DVD format only and so limited in its availability? I paid $40 for this out of fear that once it is gone it will never be seen again. I just can't figure out why History Channel is snuffing out this title. I looked on their website to see if a blu ray was available and I couldn't even find the title for this release anywhere. Again, why? ... show more

  • Earth's slow and steady fight to return.
My interests in the world are wide and diverse, but enjoy looking at what the future "possibly" holds. Watching the movie series makes me feel like I'm in highschool science class again. The movie industry uses CGI for entertainment. This is a little bit old school/dated but does make you think about alternative possibilities and just how long our infrastructure will be around without human interaction. Just like the reading I've done about the area near the nuclear plant in Russia that blew. How nature has reclaimed it. Just a thought. ... show more

  • Overly gruesome -- animal lovers beware
There is too much emphasis and demonstration of the pain and anguish of the animals. This could have been communicated without being so gruesome. I watched a little more than a third of it. Don't think I'll bother with the rest of the series.

  • Interesting TV series
This is a Series that you either like the topic or you do not, I am in the middle on this , It is interesting to watch if something like this happened such as a New Plague killing man off or something else. These are all What if's but fun to watch if something like this would happen. The only thing I do not like is how fast some scenes switch from one topic to another on some of the programs shown. They talk or show something then suddenly switch to something else which is distracting and takes away from enjoying the scene you were currently watching. ... show more

  • Seeing ourselves as ancient history
Very well done twist on Archeology with OUR CIVILIZATION being the topic and not some long distant Civilization. Great idea and presentation although I am not sure how many seasons they can keep the show fresh. The original 90 minute show and Series One in very interesting as they show how time, nature and elements reclaim signs of man's civilization ranging from private homes, monuments, grocery stores, shopping malls, famous monuments, amusement parks, nuclear power plants, urban cities like New York, etc.... But after awhile of course this must become a bit repetitive because there is a limit to the variety of ways nature, insects, animals, rust, rot, corrosion and vegetation will cover signs of our existence. I am buying the original special and first season DVD for sure... they are THAT GOOD ! But my gut feel is this will be a 2-3 Season show at best. I think it is a great idea that is well done, but I don't know how much you can do with it after 2-3 Seasons. Maybe they will have a "Return of People" series, where they try to show how man would try to rebuild human society in this scenario 3000 years down the road after a long absence on the planet with much information lost to the ages and us needing to rediscover many scientific advances. ... show more

  • Seeing what has already collapsed was my favorite part.
Engaging and well researched, this series gives an incredible back-stage look at our civilization. Seeing what has already collapsed was my favorite part.
