Season 1 Review: It's educational, kid-oriented and fun, and Tyson us confidently smooth popularizer of science. [17 Mar 2014]

Season 1 Review: At least the first episode of the new Cosmos is terrific. And if the other 12 episodes are as good, the series will serve as a valuable continuation of Sagan's legacy. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's a show that stands entirely on its own while never forgetting the series that inspired it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey is certainly trippy and visually dazzling, but it’s also a big-thought-provoking series crammed with scientific and historical fact. Hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, it is a transporting mass of CGI special effects and cartoon sequences, but it has the heft and scope of cable’s most esteemed science series, “Planet Earth” and “Life.” Read full review

Season 1 Review: The premiere episode nimbly balances information with visual spectacle, forging a middle ground between sci-fi and science fact. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The reboot, with only Episode 1 to go by, looks like a noble, educational and decidedly visual effort that can only be enhanced by the HD crystal clarity that Sagan never had a chance to behold. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Where Sagan’s narrative often approached poetry, Dr. Tyson’s can sound like an overwrought, overamplified planetarium show.... The animation used to present his story resembles low-budget anime and isn’t terribly absorbing. Bruno deserves better. Nit-picking aside, if the new Cosmos doesn’t deliver quite the punch of the original, it’s because this isn’t 1980. Read full review
