I just watched the first episode and it really keeps one thinking.
If you like documentaries and Neil DeGrasse Tyson, check it out.

It was neat. Looking forward to future episodes where they might go in a bit more detail on various topics.

Yeah, the pilot was very general, which is appropriate. I'm anxiously waiting for the second episode.

Way too general. It felt a bit like a ride at Epcot in Disney World. Still, I liked the cosmic calendar year. The episode is worth saving for that alone.

I watched the second episode. It was alright but I was disappointed that tardigrades (a.k.a. water bears) were only briefly mentioned. They're nearly indestructible creatures!

I've just watched the 3rd episode.
The show is ok but they're taking quite a few liberties with the portrayals of historic figures. Considering the topics that have been covered so far and their historic relevance I can't help but notice that the show has conveniently neglected Arabic (Islamic and pre-Islamic) discoveries and inventions, which predate the Western iconic figures the show glorifies and idolizes by decades and in some cases even centuries.
I'll have to wait and see if they are ever referenced in later episodes. If not I'll have to drop the show among the large pile of Western propaganda "history."
