Reception
The Guardian gave the show four stars. The Daily Telegraph was less happy with the "doom laden" message presented in the show and gave it 3 stars. The Irish Independent was also less than impressed, describing Packham's delivery as "self-righteous" and "annoying" to the extent it undermines the serious message of the show. The Financial Times was more positive, praising the visuals and giving it 4 stars.

Book
Packham published a book with Andrew Cohen titled Earth: Over 4 Billion Years in the Making, which ties in with the show.
