What would happen if every human being on Earth disappeared? This isn t the story of how we might vanish it is the story of what happens to the world we leave behind. Building off the success of the HISTORY two-hour special Life After People, this series continues the exploration of a world wiped clean of humanity, in even more vivid detail.
Each episode is a stunningly graphic examination of how the very landscape of planet Earth would change in our absence, using cinematic CGI to reveal in scientific detail the fate of every aspect of the man-made world. What happens to the millions of animals that supply our food? The chemicals stored in industrial complexes? Which animals take over subways? Do satellites fall to Earth? When does Mt. Rushmore wither away? Every episode will unfold in the hours, days, months and years after people disappear and will combine three to four different kinds of stories, from animal outbreaks to structural collapses, building to a unique visual finale. Welcome to Earth, population zero.

Very well done twist on Archeology with OUR CIVILIZATION being the topic and not some long distant Civilization.
Great idea and presentation although I am not sure how many seasons they can keep the show fresh.
The original 90 minute show and Series One in very interesting as they show how time, nature and elements reclaim signs of man’s civilization ranging from private homes, monuments, grocery stores, shopping malls, famous monuments, amusement parks, nuclear power plants, urban cities like New York, etc….
But after awhile of course this must become a bit repetitive because there is a limit to the variety of ways nature, insects, animals, rust, rot, corrosion and vegetation will cover signs of our existence.
I am buying the original special and first season DVD for sure… they are THAT GOOD !
But my gut feel is this will be a 2-3 Season show at best.
I think it is a great idea that is well done, but I don’t know how much you can do with it after 2-3 Seasons.
Maybe they will have a “Return of People” series, where they try to show how man would try to rebuild human society in this scenario 3000 years down the road after a long absence on the planet with much information lost to the ages and us needing to rediscover many scientific advances.

All my children enjoy this. They are from 21 to 31 yrs old. It’s a little dramatic and scary for little kids.

After catching some of this on the history channel, I knew I had to have it. I love this kind of stuff. The science of how things work combined with how they can fail… blended in with a whopp upside the head of “look at how much we effect the world around us”. It’s very cool. Great learning tool for kids too. The special effects are very well done, the information is sound. It’s fun to watch.

What would happen to all the great works of the human race if there were no one to maintain them?
It is an interesting idea for a documentary and I can`t find much to fault in their conclusions. Nature, and life itself are very
rough on everything in the long term either natural or man made.
The reason I only gave it three stars instead of four or five is that it presents the same thing over and over again. It is
interesting to know what lack of maintainence will do to a suspension bridge over a couple of hundred years, but there really
isn`t any significant difference between what happens to such a bridge in San Francisco, New York, or Michigan. Same holds true
with most tall buildings, homes, ect.
More than half of each episode is basicly a repete of the others in a different location. Granted, there are some differences in
how things will fall into disrepair in a desert as opposed to a wet climate, but not as much as you might think.
The series is worth watching, but they should have found more things to examine than going over the same things again and again.
