Nathan Simmons Refugee as Refugee. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Following the wildly successful "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey," Neil deGrasse Tyson returns as host to translate more revelations of science into a lavish transporting experience, taking audiences on a series of spiritual voyages of exploration.
The show reveals previously uncharted realms, including lost worlds, worlds yet to come, and the worlds that humans may one day inhabit. Ann Druyan, original creative collaborator to Carl Sagan, whose iconic docuseries "Cosmos" provided inspiration for this series, serves as executive producer alongside Seth MacFarlane.

TV Schedule. Sign In. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey Season: 1. Year: S1, Ep1. Error: please try again. A thrilling, new adventure across space and time begins. S1, Ep2. Artificial selection is one example, eyes another, of the well-documented and inescapable process of evolution--change in a population of species over time--by natural selection.
These are some of the things that molecules do. S1, Ep3. Neil deGrasse Tyson sets off on the Ship of the Imagination to chase a single comet through its million-year plunge toward Sol. Most of human civilization as we know it today has only occurred in the last few seconds before midnight on New Year's Eve. It's those sorts of perspective-shifting moments that make or break the effectiveness of series like this in not just getting the science across, but broadening minds.
Unfortunately, Cosmos: Possible Worlds misses the mark a bit in a few important ways. First, early episodes feel more like parts of a whole rather than one cogent, focused argument; we get snippets of science loosely related to each other by the strings connecting thousands of years of human civilization or the strands of DNA that bind all living things together in an atomic sense. Take, for example, nature documentaries like Blue Planet , which featured episodes focused on specific aquatic areas of Earth, or the more recent Seven Worlds, One Planet , which focused on a specific continent in each episode.
Those documentaries understand that vying for viewers' shortening attention spans in this modern world is a tough task, so it's better to tighten the focus as much as possible. Cosmos: Possible Worlds wanders far afield in an effort to give a surface-level explanation to everything without grounding those disparate stories with solid connections.
The second shortcoming is a focus on a distant, hopefully optimistic future at the expense of urgency for the here and now. In other words, much animation, narration, and sci-fi hype is spent on pie-in-the-sky examples of interplanetary and interstellar travel--and even colonization--for far-flung future human beings, relative to only a scattered sentence or two, here or there, about the current sixth extinction event caused by humans , the devastating effects of climate change caused by humans , or the endless division of classes and bloody battles over dwindling resources caused by humans.
We do visit the Hall of Extinction once more, but one could easily spend an entire episode there if not an entire season. Look, I'd love to live long enough to see the first data streams return from the Alpha Centauri system or watch the first human beings leave footprints in the Martian dust, but I'd much prefer that we first get our acts together to fix the one and only home we have before shopping for a very expensive new one.
