The video you are trying to watch is only availible in the US, US territories and military bases.

I watched the first one, not so sure about the next one.

A very positive tribute to Carl Sagan.

Great CGI visuals and a very lacking abstraction that tries to brand fundamentalism and shows the efficiency and potential that science brings, very low content.

Are the other films equally empty in information as the first one?
I am not too interested in graphics, Neil Degrasse Tyson is okay as a pop-scientist.

I'd watch it if my understanding of science were still stuck at a 3rd grade level. But I think it is great for the rest of America -_-

I am already a devoted fan. I am in love.

Yeah, though I think DeGrasse definitely has the next generation in mind. The young at home, possibly under parents who aren't well educated - or even dismissive of science. Which is a great idea! Even well-established theories of this form meet some resistance to the general public, but this makes everything very digestible. The CGI is also just... phenomenal.

I also find it interesting how he mentions personally getting spiritual fulfillment from the truths of the cosmos -- demonstrating that religious belief is further-still a redundancy. Overall I think this will be a great contributor to our collective societal opinion as it shapes the laymen's view of life, and makes science more of a normality.

Now a days, science on any level on T.V is good, ill watch science on a kindergarten level before I watch the real world or real housewives.

For any still interested, the recent episode "Immortals" is incredibly inspiring - I definitely recommend it if you happen to not have anything else planned one evening.

I saw the commercials for this show when they were promoting it before it came out. And one Sunday i decided to actually watch it and i liked it overall. And as stated earlier the only thing that is preventing me from watching all the episodes is the fact that im not learning anything new. I mean some stuff i am learning but thats mostly from the animated history segments. But the science is stuff i already know or have seen on other shows. However overall as a show its pretty well done and i am a fan of it.
