The premise here is to follow how life would continue to go on without us, the highest form of life on the planet. Could the animals actually take over and flourish once we are no longer there to care for and feed them. Also to cage and control them? Would all of the iconic structures man has built over the centuries remain standing or would they eventually collapse and return to the basic elements from which they were constructed? The modern metropolis may well be ravaged by the forces of nature once man is no longer around to rebuild and resurrect what Mother Nature would wear away. Each episode of this fine program focuses on some subject that would suffer once we are gone. Imagine the Sears Tower eroding away. Could the International Space Station fall back to earth? And what type of creature would replace humans once we are no longer in control of the planet? The program seems to ask more questions than supply answers and that's what makes it must see television.
