Season one of One Strange Rock explores how the particularities of Earth's unique history make it ideally suited as a cradle for life and demonstrates how the planet's biological, chemical and physical systems form an interdependent equilibrium, sustaining all the wonders of the living world we know.

The series explores some of the questions many of us take for granted: Why is Earth the only planet (that we know) to support life? How fragile are the perfectly tuned systems that sustain this living planet? What are the greatest threats to the environment and human existence on Earth? Are we alone, and where did we come from? Is there really no place like home?
