In this golden age of nature documentaries unleashed by technological advances and the appetite for streaming content, Queer Planet deserves credit for trying to connect those dots back to our lives in a somewhat different way.

Common Sense Media

The well-crafted special has stunning video that underscores its message of natural diversity and tolerance. It also investigates and promotes more inclusive practices, both in the science world and the world in general.

To many, Queer Planet will be a revelation: Animals are hella gay. They’re here. They’re queer. Get used to it. Roar. Or, maybe more appropriately: Me-oww.

Reality Blurred

In its relatively short runtime—compared to multi-season epics like Planet Earth—Queer Planet laudably captures the awe-inspiring breadth of bodies and behavior in the world’s living creatures, and does so with charm and wit.
