Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com An objectively beautiful series filled with awe-inspiring landscapes and handsomely depicted wildlife whose existence is flattened by a repetitive approach. Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics As with most nature docuseries of late, The Americas amazes with its cinematography. Unfortunately, it covers too much ground so quickly and briefly that there’s no time to grasp any segment before moving on to the next. Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Mary Kassel Screen Rant With Tom Hanks providing voice work and plenty of beautiful imagery, NBC shoves its way into the nature documentary scene with moderate success. Rated: 7/10 Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
