Black Hole Apocalypse

Lots of whosses and bangs, jump beetween interviews pointing out just how mysterious everything is makes it a mess to follow. To much focus on beeing exctiting and to little on transporting information

Don't listen to the misogynists who get upset when women do science - they're called scientists just like their male counterparts. Grow up.

The documentary starts in the days when black holes were theoretically possible but improbable, to the conclusion (always provisional in science) that black holes may be what makes galaxies, and therefore us, possible. Along the way, we were treated to the history of how the first black hole (Cygnus X-1) was discovered and finally proved beyond reasonable objection, and then to the work which showed that (probably) every galaxy has a super massive black hole as a seed.

Great job and Janna Levin is a great presenter.

I started watching hoping to find new information about black holes. Since it's relatively new, I thought there would be things never mentioned before in other documentaries. But it's just the same information as always, except that they changed men for women here. Female scientists, astronomers, hostess, etc... I'm no sexist, but watching this movie without new content made me quit around 30min

Thank you Netflix,. it was super interesting...I discovered how small we are in the Universe ....we know nothing in fact, nothing at all.

After watching this documentary I actually felt like I learned a lot about black holes. The information is presented in a way that allows it to be understood simplistically but still talks about more complex concepts. The narrator was easy to understand and was quirky in a good way. The scientists interviewed and the topics discussed were relevant. Overall, a well made documentary on an intriguing topic.
