Los planetas

The amount of information contained in this series is astounding, giving us a chastening insight into the origin of our Planet and the Solar System. I felt fear, I felt tiny and I felt exhilaration, I felt humble and I felt great watching this series.

All these mixed feelings alternating through me as I was watching the episodes, transfixed.

Professor Cox narration is wonderful and I love the way his documentaries are presented: scientific subjects simplified and beautified by splicing natural scenes to scientific matters.

It is bold, it is ambitious, it is utterly spectacular but also, it is smart. I've heard explanations I'd never heard before about our Solar System. Frankly, I've never known (them) despite watching documentaries about space for decades. It gives you a unique perspective. Also, Brian is a 15 out of 10 presenter, engaging and as simple as a friend. All in all, it's going to be one of the best science series of the year.

A spectacular show made for a world that has forgotten how to dream. The effects and music are masterfully interwoven. The narration perfectly succinct and elevated.

This show is made to leave you in awe. It all feels natural, not dramatised and out of context.

Next year should be about habitable exoplanets, binary star systems and planets caught in the firing range of supernova and neutron stars.

Professor Brian Cox is the David Attenborough of scientific programmes. He brings a wealth of knowledge to any media he is involved in, not least The Planets, which is a masterpiece of television.

The story-telling and graphical representation is fantastic. Each episode seems to outdo its predecessor.

If astronomy is your thing, or you simply to want to learn more about our solar system, I implore you to watch this series.

It is truly astonishing how the information given in the episodes takes me into a deep thought that makes me wonder with my eyes open. I really don't have words to describe how much I liked it.

I am grateful to have watched this.
