A friend told me, "It's all we got" and so it is and I dont care too much for it. Now before I type another word I should say again that this series brought to us by the History Channel is actually quite good. The History Channel has, it would seem, stepped up it's game. I recall a few years ago or so coming across virtually nothing but shows about Hitler and the Third Reich. 80% of the time Adolf, the other 15% military related and usually WW2 stuff and the sliver of remaining programming was reserved for the rest of history, human or otherwise. But times, or ratings, haved changed and we are now treated to history programs that cover everything from Hitler to supernovas and beyond. Universe the series has familiar spokesmen for the universe Michio Kaku, Alexei Filippenko and Neil deGrasse Tyson who are entertaining, likable fellows with contagious enthusiasm. They all could have had careers at PR firms or in advertising. The production value is top-notch and we're treated to some great pictures of real planets and stars and of course CGI images of stuff. It's not only hard but sometimes impossible to take photos of some of much of the universe. So, it is quality TV and if you wanna tour the cosmos on DVD do it with Carl Sagan whose landmark series has been updated and if you want to take another trip the Hitler Channel will give you a good time. And now there are two seasons to enjoy. As for the universe sucking, I don't think you, me or anybody has to like it. It's not an ethical judgment and it doesn't mean being a curmudgeon. I find the place kinda creepy, absolutely bizarre and unfriendly --or uninviting if you like. What is called space is so vast you simply cannot imagine how big it is. By far most people have even less an idea of how enormous just our solar system is. Scientists know numbers and they can throw them at you and use them to figure out where to point telescopes and how to send satilights but scientists are humans too and so even they will admit it is actually impossible to grasp the sheer, staggering vastness of cold empty space. Check out the "Thousand Yard Model" for fun. Optimistic predictions to the contrary, I doubt human beings will ever leave the solar system. It is simply too big and even if they do they will not go far. Going at light speed they will not go far and from what scientists believe they know of the universe I'm skeptical people will reach light speed. And then where to go? It looks now like there could be life scattered across the universe, but most likely similar to that at the bottom of the deepest oceans around geothermal vents. In anycase it's in worlds we probably couldn't survive on. Our human type of life I guess you could put it, is surely rare. In practical terms, we are alone. And if -if- there is "intelligent" life "out there" it is so far away we will likely never have contact. But if people do meet aliens my bet is they'll be sorry. Judging how people treat "lower life forms" if the aliens are advanced to a point where they can travel to us...yikes. Well, I'm getting this about aliens from Stephen Hawking (not present in the series). Hawking also pretty much rules out time travel, except for particles. And so we're on this planet and our species seems hell bent on ruing it to a point that human type life might not survive or will at least be stuck in a wasteland. And when it's all said and done in about 1 billion years or so the Sun will balloon out as a "red giant", burning away the atmosphere and oceans. I also find so called "black holes" with their "event horizons" the stuff of nightmares (I love how that the French thought the term obscene). And then what's the deal with "dark matter"? They don't know--that's why it's called dark matter. We can't see it and don't understand it yet. This mystery stuff--which btw is what most of the universe is made of--plays a role in the whether the universe stops expanding, keeps on expanding or stops expanding and then falls back into itself destroying everything in existence. Wonderfull. At the moment it's looking like the universe will expand forever which sounds cool except that everything is moving even further away from everything else so that eventually space will be starless and pitch black from almost any point of view and nothing will be in reach of nothing. In the end all suns will die and new suns will not be born and no new planets either. Well, they have lots of ideas about what's going on and what might or might not happen. They're still learning, so I hope a lot of what they say is wrong, but of course we'll all be so long dead what's it matter. And well, anyway the universe IS fun to contemplate and does make for some great TV when relaxing after work or whatever. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I want this series on blu-ray for sure! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2008* I was lucky enough to have watched this series in high def via Dish Network. I recorded the shows onto DVDs since I thought they were excellent. Unfortunately, my DVD recorder only records in standard def (480i). Even though they are still very interesting and educational at the lower resolution, the wow factor is missing. That should actually be taken up another notch with Blu-Ray since it was broadcast in 1080i, but Blu-Ray will give me 1080p! Outstanding! The special effects, the subject matter, and the way in which it is all explained is absolutely top notch!Now that it has come out on Blu-Ray (which I am thrilled about) I will be buying it as soon as my budget permits! It is very worth seeing more than once, and seeing it in High Def is really spectacular!*** Update 4/26/09 ***I got it on Blu-Ray and as expected, it is spectacular! :)The colors and clarity are just as good as you will ever see on your big screen TV. I'd put it right up there with the Planet Earth series.I have already ordered the next two seasons in advance. Season 2 is due out in July, and season 3 in August. Cool! This is truly the best series ever on the subject of The Universe. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing..... *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2014* There are six seasons of "The Universe", and all are spectacular in their own right. Season one deals mostly with our Solar System, though it gives more than a passing nod to Galaxies and Stars, which it also covers in subsequent episodes later on. Our Sun is looked at more in depth. The Moon, its formation and its role where Earth is concerned is discussed as are the conditions of both the inner and outer planets. An episode, entitled "Most Dangerous Places" showcases exploding stars and Black holes," the Search for ET", described the search for other possible intelligences in the Universe, and focuses on the question of what caused the Big Bang. Earth is not left out either. From scenarios of possible destruction from Space to just how lucky we truly are that our planet is the way it is. Beautiful scenes illustrate just what scientists are talking about as the explain details in easy to follow terms and experiments, as it is easy to see that they want people to understand what is out there and their fascination with it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/12606718-the-universe-season-1](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/12606718-the-universe-season-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
