Worth-the-watch science series?

Just curious if you’ve run across any interesting science series and/or documentaries? If so, please share. Looking for something meaningful to watch.

Sadly, “Finding Bigfoot” is considered science by Discovery and Animal Planet.

How ghastly. Bloody Dawkins on his soapbox again.

Sure, there are a few times he talks about faith vs reason, but for the most part, he talks about evolution and shows enough here to warrant combating any Creationist or ID proponent.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, Q. Yea, not a fan of Dawkins as he gets a little long winded, but I'll check it out seeing you find it ''must watch'' worthy.

There is a series that came out a few years back about Einstein, I'll have to google the exact title of the series, but it was based on his entire life, not just his scientific contributions, although the series is mainly about that. (He had quite a dating life lol) It is worth the watch, because it's a very well-rounded view of Einstein, not the sterilized version we tend to think of.

 

Just finished watching My Octopus Teacher on Netflix. Incredible footage.

 

I saw this pop up on Netflix last night and meant to come back to it. Great! I’ll check it out.

 

Yep, will be watching that this week sometime.

Others that are now somewhat dated, but worth the effort if you can get hold of them are...."Love and Bananas" An Elephant Story: [have a box of tissues handy] The most thought provoking video I have ever seen. [This Thai women, "Lek" is incredible!! [a preview]
"Chasing Ice" [a review] Beside being much food for thought, absolutely stunning photography.
and third,"Blackfish" [a preview]

 

The old 70's "Cosmos" series is well worth a watch and available on dvd at the ABC...somewhat dated now, but the ease and competent manner in which Sagan gets across his message is worth it.

Recently of course updated and narrated by Neil De-Grasse Tyson and Sagan's former wife Ann Duryan .

And another excellent doco is David Attenborough's, "Life on our Planet"

 

An incredible show that fueled my teenage science enthusiasm.

 

It was shown on the ABC [Australian Broadcasting Commision] in Sydney in the early/mid 70's, on a Sunday arvo, in 12 part series. Never missed an episode, even after a Saturday night out on the booze! Incredible, certainly!
