Amongst the monotony of the average day of a human being we often forget about what is REALLY going on in our world or how it formed. This documentary lays all that out in a format the average person can understand.
With the aid of Morgan Freeman's calming voice they show what goes on in a wild animals daily life then to a flash sideways to things in earth and space that directly explain how they are connected. The film crew really went out if their way and did a great job bringing this images to are tv. I recommend watching at night on a big screen. The picture is amazing. It is one of the best documentaries to date. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.

Even though it is awesome to watch a documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman, I could not finish it due to pretentious and hollow script.
Was this a nature documentary? Was this a documentary about cosmology? Or better yet was this a documentary that ties those amazing topics together with a strong and clever writing? Those was my initial hopes about this but sadly the answer is that it is neither of those.
It was baffling to watch how narration switches back and forth between nature and cosmology without a solid reason or connection to it.
Frustrating to see that this is such a wasted potential. I think I will watch Cosmos again and again instead of wasting my time with this mess.
