Notre univers

Whoever did the sound mixing didn't do it justice. Morgan's narrative was too far back in the mix, I was struggling to hear him over the SFX and music. It turned into a difficult watch because of that.

Aside from that, the footage and graphics are beautiful to watch. I enjoyed the link of everything happening in the universe has an effect on life in every way.

It was really great to get you think about the bigger picture to life in earth. I hope to see more of these types of documentaries on Netflix, so refreshing after all the true crime ones that seem to be of endless supply in their library.

Typical Netflix so-called documentaries - visually very pleasing but empty of any insightful narrative content. All you hear is empty-can noises emanating from a familiar voice mixed with elevator muzak spouting really cringy patronising trites with no more depth than middle school science.

If Netflix would only get real professional documentary writers to work with their visual teams we'd get a really great proper documentary.

One can only wish.

In the meantime, just enjoy the visual feast and ignore the muzak and empty words.

You can find much much better researched and written documentaries on any topic on YouTube well worth the compromise on visual quality.

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.

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.
