Critic Reviews For One Strange Rock
- " For a beautifully orchestrated macrocosmic counterpoint, I strongly recommend you tune in to National Geographic Channel's One Strange Rock."- Amy Glynn , Paste Magazine
- " One Strange Rock is the answer to the question “How do we do a nature documentary, but bigger than ever before?” It's an enormous undertaking that's often breathtaking in its presentation, one that is befitting the blockbuster status it's striving for. " – Kevin Yeoman, ScreenRant
- “Frankly, the only reaction to it all was "wooaah”, and a new appreciation of plankton." –
James Jackson, Times (UK)
