Our Universe

I mean that in a good way. The episodes keep you entertained while you lay in bed. It's a great, relaxing way to chill out. Morgan Freeman killed it. I wish they went in to more detail here and there but it was still pretty good.

I remember documentaries narrated by Sir David Attenborough and these are a great ode to them. I also reminds me of The Cosmos as well. The wildlife shots are really good and the space stuff is even better. They do a great job showing how chaotic the universe is and explaining how it helps life on earth. It also goes in to the history of the universe and I found it really fascinating.

I'm happy I watched it.

Even though it is awesome to watch a documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman, I could not finish it due to pretentious and hollow script.

Was this a nature documentary? Was this a documentary about cosmology? Or better yet was this a documentary that ties those amazing topics together with a strong and clever writing? Those was my initial hopes about this but sadly the answer is that it is neither of those.

It was baffling to watch how narration switches back and forth between nature and cosmology without a solid reason or connection to it.

Frustrating to see that this is such a wasted potential. I think I will watch Cosmos again and again instead of wasting my time with this mess.

6 episodes of pure brilliance in everything you can imagine, I've never felt so rejuvenated after watching something like this.

Morgan Freeman is the voice of the Universe.

The connection from the Big Bang to stardust to life on planet Earth has never been portrayed like this.

Full marks for concept, narration and editing.

The best part is that the film arouses curiosity and emotions at the same time, which makes it quite different.

It's certainly one of the best things I've ever seen. This is surely a treat not to be missed , especially in these times of epidemics and lack of quality content.

This documentary on our universe and the inexorable relationship the cosmos has on everything on Earth is brilliantly explained by the great Morgan Freeman. While learning how the universe was created, we see how the chemical composition of the cosmos affects every living thing on Earth, and how it all makes sense.

This brilliant scientific documentary should be compulsory for all our schools so that the new generations can learn about the universe and how it was created. Not by some imaginary sky daddy that blinked and created things like a genie, but via billions of years of chemical galactic molecules combining and reacting. A reaction that continues to happen now.

I was enjoying it but then the Elemental episode started. The discussion on creation of different elements was seriously misrepresented implying that simple fusion created all the elements. The role of Supernovas in element creation was not even discussed when it plays a fundamental role in complex element creation. The fact that elements are being recycled into Supernova to create heavier atoms is crucial in understanding element creation. This is far too important a topic to be disregarded when exploring the topic of element creation.

I had to come back and correct the discussion of Mars. The geology of Mars resulted in a planet too low in mass to retain a molten core. When the molten core of Mars cooled it resulted in Mars losing its magnetic field which then meant there was no protection from solar winds and the solar winds then stripped Mars of its atmosphere and water. The show seemed to leave this as some mystery but it is not a mystery.

I am not sure why I need to include more characters in a succinct discussion of a critical topic can be described in fewer words.
