Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman hosts and narrates this series that explores some of the deepest mysteries of existence, such as what triggered life on Earth. Bright minds from a variety of scientific disciplines -- including astrophysics, quantum mechanics and string theory -- discuss their thoughts on issues that have intrigued mankind for hundreds of years, with the ultimate goal of revealing the universe's extraordinary truth. What do aliens look like? Do some people really have a sixth sense? Can mankind live forever? Producers believe science may be evolved enough to offer more than philosophical theories.

This series is nothing if not ambitious, and Morgan Freeman sounds like the perfect narrator to make it all hang together. Go to Full Review Frazier Moore Christian Science Monitor 03/01/2019
"Through the Wormhole" is chock-full of such varying, often clashing explanations for the biggest riddles life has to offer. Go to Full Review Will Wade Common Sense Media 03/01/2019
3/5
Even with the basic graphics and the simplified explanations aimed at the ordinary viewer, these theories can be tough to grasp. That doesn't make the show less entertaining, but it does mean it will appeal to a limited audience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
