The Great Dyings (2023)
FIVE TIMES DURING COMPLEX LIFE'S HALF A BILLION YEAR REIGN, THE FORCES OF NATURE HAVE CONSPIRED AGAINST IT
Life is a fragile thing. It changes and adapts so specifically to survive in the environment it's placed in. This ability to adapt is called evolution, and it's the reason that life has endured for the past few billion years. But evolution takes a long time, so when environments change too quickly for the inhabitants to keep up, the result is a drop in population or at the worst… extinction. And sometimes these changes can be so big that they affect the entire globe. Leading to some of the most catastrophic events in our planet’s history… mass extinctions. Content creator Angel of Death explores the five mass extinctions and the effects they had on life on earth in this five part miniseries.

Around 201 million years ago at the end of the Triassic when the rise of a new lineage of animals would mark the beginning of over 130 million years of peace and prosperity. A world untouched by climate change, tectonic processes, and extinctions which was allowed to prosper under the rule of some of the most powerful and well-known prehistoric beasts ever known… the Dinosaurs. But if there's one thing that we all know about good things, it's that they are never meant to last. 66 million years ago at the end of the Mesozoic, a cataclysmic event would change the world forever, ending this age of peace and the age of the non-avian dinosaurs…
