* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'':
** Per [[https://tvline.com/2015/05/05/forever-season-2-spoilers-henry-tells-jo/ a Q&A]] Henry reappears in the East River instead of the Hudson River because the director thought the views of Brooklyn in the background would be much prettier than views of New Jersey would have been.
** The shots of ''historical'' New York in the background of resurrections during flashbacks are extremely well-done.
** "Fountain of Youth" has an especially notable view of the 1906 New York skyline, which James and Henry specifically take the time to admire.

** its prequel, ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'' is just as breathtaking. Just the opening scene, with Rhaenyra flying on dragon among clouds and then above the King's Landing is incredible.



* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'' continues the tradition of filming breathtaking landscapes in New Zeeland from [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings the original trilogy]], we are blessed with wide shots of the mountains; seeing the trees of Valinor; the beautiful valleys of Rhovanion where the hobbits live; Lindon, the capital city of the High Elves; the picturesque Southlands; the splendor of Eregion, Khazad-dûm before being destroyed by Orcs and cherry on the top, the Shining City of Númenor.

* Roughly 70% of the runtime of ''Series/ADiscoveryOfWitches''. Gorgeous shots of Oxford, the French countryside, London streets (both present-day and Elizabethan), Finnish forests, Venetian waters, New Orleans bars and graveyards, science labs, libraries, castle interiors, etc. Crosses into SceneryGorn on occasion, like the parts that take place in an abandoned Nazi camp in Poland. There's also a fair bit of {{Fanservice}}, with ''Creator/MatthewGoode'', ''Creator/TeresaPalmer'' and (in the first season) Elarica Johnson basically blending into the visuals of the scenes.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* The reality TV Show ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' likes to film in tropical locations, often using some beautiful aerial views during the torch walks (or in the case of "Palau", downright ''beautiful'' shots of the ocean). It was already darn beautiful, especially during some of the tribal council sets. (Especially "China", which had the most elaborate tribal council set as described by the show staff) However, it went UpToEleven in "Gabon" when they made the jump to HD. While people have gotten bored of having four seasons filmed in Samoa (Within two years), they really do showcase that the world can be a ''very'' beautiful place.

* ''Series/TheGrandTour'' absolutely loves this trope, to the point where Season 4 has shifted from a ''Series/TopGear'' styled show into essentially a series of movies in which the presenters each take a vehicle through hundreds of miles of beautiful wilderness.

* ''Series/DocMartin'': From the opening titles, the DOP takes the opinion that any shot with less than three people in it can be improved with moorland or some good Cornish cliffs.

** The show went for this in a ''big'' way in Season 2, with absolutely stunning visages and creative cinematography to show off the glories of the Icelandic landscape. Notable also in that the plot for those scenes was rather basic and setting up for the next season (mostly just walking from place to place) which really did not need to be so stunning, but, damn it was cool.
