Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

benjaminburt If you're looking for a documentary on science and space, Cosmos is definitely the top of its class. Even among documentaries in general, it is sophisticated, intelligent, doesn't talk down to its audience, and is well-done. The only gripes I could have for it is that its animations often look cheap, and it's sometimes a little cheesy. That's it. However, if you're a climate-change-denier, flat-earther, or hyper- religious, this documentary will challenge you. Neil deGrasse Tyson is unapologetic when it comes to his convictions. Despite this, I think the series still stands on its own, and the bias is rather easily overlooked; and, even if you don't agree, you can't deny the grandeur and power of the words of the good doctor.

ehsubscriptions I was hoping for something like the old Cosmos or something a bit like Wormhole. I wanted something that talked about the science and physics of the universe. What I got was a bunch of berating and lecturing about perceived social issues. The writers, producers and Tyson should be ashamed. They try to use their unique brand quasi- science as a social and political bludgeon. Sad. This program rates right up there with "Ancient Aliens" with regards to its intellectual honesty.

tankace Cosmos: A Space time Odyssey is the remake of the historic series of nineteen eighty with Carl Sagan. The host is Neil Ne Grass Tyson ,student of Sagan and the second coolest astrophysicist alive after Steven Hawking of course. In a sense this series is a homage of a student to his teacher as he is now himself a teacher.The series more or less show us the development of science and the mechanics of each field from gravity to black holes and what it took for the people who discover them or invent the tools in order to be these phenomenons understood, in short a amazing and at times touching journey through space and time. What can I say it was epic and still gives me shivers through my spine.As for the effects in the show mind-blowing and beautiful and event the animation as the portrait the events ,dispute its simplicity ,was so well made that you forget that you watch something animated! Finally the scope of the series was presented excellently by Mr. Tyson ,as all these changes and developments shows us our place in the universe and makes you in the end more humble.Over all it was a blast to watch and I recommended to everyone ,with a interest in science (psychics, biology, mathematics, astronomy etc.)

L B First, I wanted to address other people's ratings: I've learned on IMDb that anything that has ratings of either 10 or 1, with basically no area between, is almost always really good, with only the nonobjective people, hungry for attention, rushing to give it a 1 because they know better. If you claim to be so well-informed about the subject, of academic background, a scientist or a scholar - then how can you be so primitive to give 1 out of 10 to something based on 1 or 2 or 3 things you don't like about it? No matter how good your arguments are, how about being useful to others and as fair as possible while writing a review that should help people decide whether to watch it or not - and then giving it a 3, or 5, or 6? It's an option, you know.Most of the people rating it badly don't accept this *show* for what it is. And it is not scientific-grade material, made for scrutinized review of the scientific community, nor an all- encompassing summary of the academic knowledge about the universe, including all intricate details.What it is, is an amazing, awe-inspiring, life-changing and even tear-provoking experience for the mass audience - young kids whom this will inspire to learn, question and discover, and push boundaries; grown-ups who will be introduced to a world they never knew before and make them show it to their kids and think about their ability to answer questions about the world and universe, and support the kids in learning. As well as the elderly, who will be able to get a view on how far have we come, and hopefully recognize their, even remotely supporting, role in all of it and be happier or more fulfilled for it. I don't care if it's better or worse than the original series - there are now 2 really great ones and that's all that matters - the amount of content of this type is so small, and making these subjects at least a bit more appealing by the show being new and visually attractive, is so valuable, given the noise and the lowliest garbage that consists the most of the consumed content nowadays. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the best possible host for the show. You can question his scientific achievements all you want, but he is the person who is giving science a much-needed face, in formats that matter today - social media especially. And deservedly so. He is liked and followed and considered cool by the younger population, and that enables the substance of science, scientific approach, curiosity and ever-expanding hunger for knowledge to permeate the wall of slur generated by the Kim Kardashians of this world and alike...He has presence, charm, wits and consistency - I loved his work as a host and am rather sure that he will not be a reason for a lot of (normal, mass audience) people to dislike the series, quite the contrary.Some of the arguments against the series are understandable and respectable - but, in my view, there should primarily be support for this kind of engaging, life-enriching and truly cherish-worthy content, so that, hopefully, there can be more of it, and our children can be exposed to it as much as possible...Criticism can help make it be the best as it can be, but needs to be secondary - thus my resentment for people giving it 1 based on it "not going in enough details", "not mentioning the latest theory XYZ", "copying the original show", or whatever...Even if I watched the original series and have yet to watch "Through the wormhole", I am so grateful for the opportunity to watch something like this in my life, and the way the show promotes hard work, curiosity, structured approach, but also kindness and awareness that each person can change the world if we help them to, brought tears to my eyes through the show. Can't wait to watch it again with my (now a baby) daughter in a few years...
