The Code

The series has in parts a nice atmosphere and some points are indeed interesting. But when the protagonist told you the 7th time that the cooodeee is everywhere, but has not made a deeper anysis of any example, it starts getting boring.

So much information out there but hen there are shows like this that will enhance your thinking, Taking pieces of information and putting them together into one thought. It is fantastic, Some people reviewing this does not see the ignorance they succumb on google, they think they are superior and then forget there are people out there that do not act or search for information like them. Shame on those reviewers that has caused this show to cancel. I would of loved to see 10 seasons of information coming together especially spacial, astronomical and ancient Cambodian, India temples and how they where built mathematically. There is so much people do not know from those 3rd world country that can teach a person like me that has 4 masters degrees.

Oxford Mathematics Professor Marcus du Sautoy examines the numbers and formulae that govern the world around us.

So-so. Should have been quite interesting but instead largely consisted of hyping up basic physics into something earth-shatteringly profound. Unless you've never done high school science, physics or maths, many of the 'revelations' are things you already know and take for granted, e.g. gravity, pi (and its significance in circles).

Maybe it is because I have a mathematical background (Masters degree in Statistics), but just about everything seemed dumbed down. Even to the point where du Sautoy dumbs down the science itself, e.g. using speed instead of velocity in one example. Maybe that was the target audience - people who don't know much about science or maths.

Not that it's all unedifying. There are some parts that are genuinely new and interesting, e.g. patterns and codes in nature. The nautilus's shell and the swallows' flying pattern were quite interesting.

Hi team,

Please present the correct information as the tree branches are divides as per the Fibonacci series, like 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 and so on... please cross check your research. Fibonacci sequence is everywhere!

Thanks, Krish.

Its fine on some subjects, but mostly its just a scrambled mess. some topics are not well explained, or just quickly glossed over. and the editing is typically bad of low budget ducumentaries.

4/10: didnt enjoy
