Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

thank you Dr. Tyson for being a well informed scientist and presenting this series in the humble manner it started in way back in the 80's, where most humans could grasp the true meaning. the upgrade is certainly appreciated, and heartfelt in every way. there can be no doubt that the young and old will treasure your "Cosmos" series even more with wide eyed wonder and amazement.

yours, and the entire support staff's hard work on this production has paid off, and will do so for quite some time.

maybe forever. : )

thanks again, Metallak

i have been watching and loving films and TV shows for years now, and loving the study of the universe for even longer than that.

that being said, this is the first time i have ever felt the need to create an account on IMDb solely to rate something a "10"

this has an absolutely stunning, heartfelt, emotional introduction, and i only anticipate it getting better from here.

i will probably update this review as the series goes on, or i may just review episodes individually. but either way, i firmly suggest that every human being on earth watch this show.

have a good life everyone.

This was an absolute blast to watch! I was excited from the moment that I found out that Cosmos would be returning to TV. It was, and still is, one of the shows as a child that really made me feel an overwhelming awe about reality and life as we have come to understand it. I applaud Seth Macfarlane and the FOX Network for taking a chance, and bringing this amazing mini- series to a new generation. Also HUGE kudos to Neil Degrasse Tyson for really taking the reigns, and conveying such amazing topics in thought provoking narrative terms that my daughter, and all children, can now easily understand and enjoy immensely. I really thought that everyone involved handled these topics in an elegant way in which to minimize the offense that a few may try to find with these subjects in which scientific evidence can actually back up. Thank you, to everyone involved, for the beautiful and amazing masterpiece that is... Cosmos...

Absolutely blown away by Neil deGrasse Tyson's hosting of Cosmos. You can tell he enjoys telling the story of the Cosmos. What makes the Cosmos remake most exciting to me is that new theories such as the 'Multiverse' theory and new findings are inevitably making its way to the front-line of grand-audience explanations of the universe. Also, now that graphics technology is more advanced than it was years ago during the first Cosmos series, the illustrations are much more telling and mesmerizing; this helps the viewer to visually break down some complexities that Neil alludes to in some of his narrative discussion.

I can't think of anyone better to narrate this story other than Neil. It's obvious he's passionate about this show. Neil's tribute to Carl was touching in explaining how Carl inspired 'just a 17 year old kid from the Bronx' to become one of the most influential scientists of our modern generation.

I'm extremely excited for the rest of the series to evolve and use the previous Cosmos series formula as a sort of foundation to continue captivating and inspiring the audience. After viewing the first episode, it's evident that future episodes will not disappoint.

Thank You Seth MacFarlane for having the foresight for bringing this back with your own money. Carl Sagan when I was growing up influenced me with the original Cosmos series to go into science and also gave me the love of science fiction.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is brilliant in continuing in Mr Sagan's footsteps. The the score written by Alan Silvestri also fantastic. I will be introducing this to my young family as the love of Cosmos should be for all generations.

There is updated animation no doubt influenced by Seth's Family Guy roots but this should hold the attention of the kids as the this combined with the special effects should keep them engrossed and learn at the same time.

Look forward to more episodes and questions from kids !
