Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (2014)
Cosmos makes me joyful to be alive!
As a high school science teacher, nothing brings me more joy than kids being excited about science, and Cosmos does exactly that. It brings a joy of knowledge and understanding to viewers through stunning visuals and a well-spoken narrative. It encourages a much needed excitement of scientific discovery and pursuit of critical thinking. Cosmos is also filling a gap of knowledge left in the wake of a poorly funded educational institution in America.
In an age when people fill countless hours each week with Honey Boo-Boo, Duck Dynasty, and Kim Kardashian, not to mention once "science channels" like Discovery, History, and PBS dumbing down their programming to appeal to the drooling masses, Cosmos is a serious breathe of fresh air amidst a sea of network miasma.
