Product 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.

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.
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?

My 9 year old girl loved watching civilization collapse, so 4/5, not 3/5.
There is a good cross section of expert opinion and modern day equivalent scenarios.
The CG animation of this possible future is interesting but a little low-res and each piece is quite short and overly repeated throughout the series.
A couple of hypotheses are a little out there, such as the escaped chimps learning to leave some bird eggs to ensure future generations. It's hard to even call that speculation more pure fantasy if you ask me but generally it keeps to the facts or at least a believable hypothesis for a world with out man.
There's still an awful lot of questions have been left unanswered though, possibly the reason for a second series!
The worst part, after the egg collecting chimps has to be the constant repetition, being an American series it has the annoying habit of showing snippets of what your about to see where I guess the adverts would have been scheduled into the program. This happens five or six times an episode and gets quite irritating. Had they edited it down to remove these unnecessary scenes the running time would be half what it is but would have made it far more watchable and enjoyable for it!
It's good but could be so much better.
