I do wonder if they way that episodes 2-5 have been formatted, with each
one covering a separate season, has left many viewers under the
impression that the seasons happen in the Arctic and the Antarctic at
the same time rather than offset by six months.

He almost said as much!

I don't mind so much. The alternative is to dumb down the program to
Horizon levels which would make it almost unwatchable for me.

What do you mean 'dumb down to Horizon levels'!?
It is very much targeted at the mass BBC 1 audience.
I am not saying it is already dumbed down, but it is just excellent
eye candy.
Entertainment for the most part.

The best bit for me is the last 10 minutes when you get to see, at
least in part, how they film it.

A problem would exist if the series was to have a programme putting it
all in the context of AGW.
Climate change over all time scales would have to be looked at and
statistical significance. This would be in complete contrast to the
eye candy,
and probably not an acceptable part of a globally marketable product
for the BBC.
