Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 11/22/2022
2/5
The result is a weird mash-up of natural history and space science, and it doesn’t work. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 11/23/2022
As much as it feels like it’s two docuseries combined into a big unwieldy mess, Our Universe‘s graphics, photography and narration still make it a compelling watch. Go to Full Review

Vik A @RT55997952 Nov 19 Way too much time wasted on animal analogies. Cosmos remains a vastly superior show. See more Philip C @RT19593813 Oct 3 The mashup of CGI animals and real animals is weird at best. The CGI of the universe, cells, etc. is quite good. But the story, trying to combine natural science with space science just doesn't work well. I had great hopes for it, and as much as I love series like this, this series just isn't that good. See more Nicole H @RT67012523 10/06/2024 This series illustrates the beauty, fragility, rarity, and near-impossibility of life. As life that has its origins in the beginning of the universe struggles to continue, it deserves our care and protection. See more letaiser T @RT88401244 07/22/2024 It was alright , I mean some cgi was pretty good and then some videos which were taken , but this is a weird mash up between some space and then some storys of animals on the earth , and it is way to long , 6 episodes which all were almost an hour long , you learned sometimes something but overall it was pretty mid. The animations tho were very good. See more Maren S @MarenJane 10/25/2023 Thoughtful, informative and visually stunning documentary series, beautifully narrated by Morgan Freeman. Must see for the whole family. See more Cem Y @cmyldz23 07/03/2023 Loved the narrative and animations. This one really shows how technology can advance the delivery of a subject.
