The universe

Anyone been watching ?

rodders · 6 Nov 2021 at 21:26

Is it new? Looks like I've seen it before.

arknor · 6 Nov 2021 at 22:15

I tried but I don't think it was really for people who already know about the universe.

usually love Brian Cox stuff shame
there's better stuff to watch

You can find more interesting stuff on youtube..

yesterday I stumbled across

The actual youtuber seems kinda lame but the content in this video was cool.

the fact this guy is just making the lenses so old school is crazy too me, you could do the same thing at home for probably almost no investment and I bet he sells them for a fortune.

he does say it takes months of polishing though for the high end ones

I love Brian Cox and have a collection of his stuff but I found this series a bit boring.

Guardian review gave it 3/5. Which I'd agree with with its the TV equivalent of a coffee table book nice to look at nothing much of any substance within.

I can't watch his documentaries. Far too much loud music. They call it background music. It's no such thing. It's a blooming disrupting, noise insult to the ears.

Have a nice day/24 hour rotational period.

It's not great. Really dumbed down and lazy in its construction. Seemingly more a vehicle for Brian Cox to numb is all into submission with his ultra laconic wonderment. Nothing new to see and nothing that was particularly intellectually challenging to get your head around. I'll stick to the Sky at Night.

I don't really like his programs, he dumbs everything down so much.

Because the majority of BBC's viewers are at that level.

he got well known because of his ability to explain things to the common man, but now TV world seems to have him trapped in that mode for all eternity now.

rather than using it to introduce more people to science etc and then get deeper programmes we just get basic stuff for new minds

Don't get why it's not in 4k either, most of its animations

marc2003 · 7 Nov 2021 at 14:59

I'm interested in the subject matter but I won't watch anything Cox presents because he's an insufferable tool. Even his voice/the way he speaks annoys me let alone anything he has to say.

A load of random horizon space documentaries with anonymous (to me) narrators are infinitely better. Also anything with Jim Al-Khalili presenting is likely to be great too.

I doubt thats down to him so much as the editorial direction. Its like the Blue Planet terrific eye candy but very little else, designed to sell well to overseas markets.

That'll be reserved for the blu-ray/HD release. Which you'll have to pay for.
