Konterr Brilliant and touching

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

soupofficial-221-953361 This show isn't suitable as the first ever history series to watch. It jumps around between events and concepts that you need to already be familiar with, and tries to weave them into new sequences.In that sense, it's quite entertaining, if sometimes factually flawed.What really bothered me was the endless verbal repetition of the term "Big History" in every episode. The scriptwriters are trying to create a brand out of it, but overdoing it to the point that it becomes distracting and irritating. It's very American.It's worth watching for a bit of stimulation, but yeah... it's trying too hard. The sound and visual effects try to make it "hardcore", which might hold the attention of a 15 year old kid for a little longer, but will wear down the grownups.

Daniel Dugal Great show. It incorporates scientific analysis with historical records to create an account of how things came to be. It is a bit difficult to research the show itself since Big History is also the name for the scientific initiative on which the show is based. That can get a bit confusing, so if you go to Wikipedia to look up Big History, the first thing that comes up is not the television series itself, but an initiative by a group of researchers to investigate some of the most intriguing questions about history, mankind, the earth, the cosmos, the physical laws by which we are governed, and just about anything else that needs answering. The show itself is very compelling to watch. Cranston does a great job on the narration, and the visual depictions are great, including re-enactments with actors, exuberant scenery and well-designed graphic animations. The story told by the narrator is a concisely described historical account focusing on the key points and paying close attention to the facets likely to be most interesting. Highly recommend giving it a try.

Mark Auer Some would say this show bites off more than it can chew - it attempts to explain the entire history of the universe from the big bang to present day and how this all relates to our history and livelihood. To understand the fundamental principles presented here you need good foundational science knowledge. It glosses over plenty of details, undoubtedly to cater to a wider audience and keep scenes moving. But for all the glossing this show presents some impressively forward thinking concepts. How this series synthesizes knowledge for the viewer and 'connects the dots' so to speak makes for highly interesting historical narrative.Big history focuses on the 'thresholds' matter and life itself went through to lead to our existence today. There are a number they go through and most every piece provides enlightening insight to how seemingly insignificant events had profound impacts on our evolution and history.At the end of the day this show presents a simplified saga on the history of our everchanging universe and how it all relates to us.This is a vital topic every kid and adult should learn about. For those who don't know this series is made by the same people behind the 'Big History' academic project, funded partly by Bill Gates.I give the series a 10/10 simply for how well it presents (and for actually presenting) the profound subject of our dynamic, ever changing and highly interconnected universe.

Shizuka I've seen the first two episodes and really liked them.It shows you things you take for granted but had a profound impact on human development.I never realized how something as apparently mundane as salt had such huge consequences on human history - not only from a medical point of view but also how the salt business and trade changed humankind.The same goes for the second episode where you learn about how horses profoundly changed our history.The series is very well done and I am looking forward for more episodes and high quality television.
