Our Universe

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.

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.

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.

As soon as I read that Morgan freeman was narrating it with his magical smooth story telling voice I was pulled in by gravity . This documentary series was the absolute best explanation to the mechanics of the universe and energy I have ever had the pleasure of watching it be explained in a visual easy to understand story telling manner . It really made you feel the journey and apart of something greater than but apart of everything around us , within us and what is too come . Netflix and the BBC made an absolute gold standard documentary here and it was a real treat to have Morgan freeman take me along for the ride .

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.
