It is very funny that high-rise buildings collapse and do not touch others, although it is clear that the distance between them is small. :/

I haven't really liked it yet. There are many repetitions, both visual and semantic, the same thought is retold 3-4 times in different words or with minor additions and illustrated with the same frames. The plot is not very coherent: the series has 2 seasons, 20 episodes about life without people, and the series seems to be about bodies. Or, as it was said at the beginning, about the memory of people. I thought they'd focus on bodies, mummies, images, and the like, but here you have bridges, houses, cities, statues, all in one pile. What will the rest of the series be about then? Will they show us the next bridge and the next house? There is no special analysis, just a fact like "In 300 years the Statue of Liberty will fall, the torch will fall first, it will go into them by half a meter", that's it.
There are also some doubts about their forecasts, because even if not all people have disappeared, something is indirectly supported, but nevertheless, many of us have seen abandoned buildings, structures, even settlements. Well, everything is not so exuberant there, as on their models. Even the island of Husima is not nearly as destroyed and overgrown as in the simulation.
I'll watch another episode or two to see if it gets more interesting, if there's something worthwhile, or if there's also beautiful pictures with simple comments.

I wanted to learn more about frozen bodies, especially embryos, somehow I hadn't thought about it before, And it was interesting to find out that parrots teach their chicks human words.

Seriously? After 15 years, a sequel??

Well, in general, nothing has changed. 40 minutes about pets dying or running wild, and rivers washing away cities?

When I was a kid, this series seemed so interesting, but now I'm watching it and it feels like I'm already being told the same thing for the 4th episode.
All the material could be stacked in 3-5 episodes. or even better, in one movie)
