The producers of this show have really outdone themselves in this continuation of the Cosmos series. Many television shows of its kind miss the point of being on TV: to teach young people how to love learning. There is a lack of interest in science that needs to exist again for our society to advance as fast as it can. This show teaches not only the basics of science but the desire and hunger for knowledge about the universe. And it achieves this hunger for knowledge without exploring too deeply the petty minutia of science-religion debate. The beauty of our universe and the endless possibilities of scientific endeavor are more than enough for this show to succeed, a fact host Neil DeGrasse Tyson and producers understand.
