Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

soupofficial-221-953361 This show isn't suitable as the first ever history series to watch. It jumps around between events and concepts that you need to already be familiar with, and tries to weave them into new sequences.In that sense, it's quite entertaining, if sometimes factually flawed.What really bothered me was the endless verbal repetition of the term "Big History" in every episode. The scriptwriters are trying to create a brand out of it, but overdoing it to the point that it becomes distracting and irritating. It's very American.It's worth watching for a bit of stimulation, but yeah... it's trying too hard. The sound and visual effects try to make it "hardcore", which might hold the attention of a 15 year old kid for a little longer, but will wear down the grownups.

mario-furcic Every episode lays out 5-6 ideas about a theme, doesn't investigate further into those concepts but you can google it and it shows that they did their research pretty good. The videos in the background are just for enhancing your memory of the show, of those 5-6 ideas. You can recollect every show very fast when somebody asks you! Unlike Cosmos, where you get lost very fast, cannot recall anything, and have no idea what they wanted to say, this is quite the opposite - very clear concepts, presented in a memorable way. I find all the ideas very contemporary. *And the do like drama - seems like they can connect your morning coffee with the Big Bang :) but i don't mind the theatrical approach, probably gets to wider audience

gviolet66 I wish someday TV producers would assume their viewers might just possess an educational level past the grade 5 level.There is indeed some basic value to the content of Big History. But, shamefully, it seems written for children. Why is the sound background so unimaginative and overbearing ? The loud and "fancy" sound effects only disrupt the viewing experience. Despite any interest I might have in the material, I have to switch to other channels.You might perhaps learn from PBS documentaries how to properly present a subject.I don't expect the same quality as PBS from you, but, at the very least please have the decency of respecting your viewers intelligence.Gilles Violette

Mad_Doctor_Tom Breaking Bad fans prepare to regain some brain cells & increase your intelligence!Just watched the first two episodes of Big History on H2 on 02 Nov., 13 which Bryan Cranston now narrates.If you are a history fanatic as I am then you need to catch this show! Praise to Bryan Cranston for his narration of the series. It is great that now he can show those fans of Breaking Bad that he has more interests and talents than just being an actor who plays a killer drug dealer.Which in turn benefits our children's intelligence as well as adults.Bravo & keep up the good work Mr. Cranston!
