Anyone still watching Cosmos?

It seems to have turned in to a show for global warming. I am sad.

It sucks. Very disappointed in the direction the show took.

"Science" is now a code word for liberal propoganda

It really has become a Global Warming show without any counter evidence nor any real solutions. They dont even touch on the wrong predictions of the ones they hold up as soothsayers from years past.

Haven't watched the latest one but yes I am still watching and it's great.

Yes, I still watch it and love it.

I gave up after 3. They have a lot of fat they could cut each episode like the cartoons. Needs to be a 30 minute show especially for such heavy material that takes a while for the mind to wrap around without feeling exhausted.

I've watched each of the shows. Generally not on Sunday nights though. (that was a suicide time slot to put it in).
I've enjoyed the series and I haven't found it to be overly biased. It deals with the scientific method and I think we've become so accustomed to the point/counterpoint style presentation of things that some people find it a bit jarring.
Then again, lots of stuff that is accepted as proven now were once hotly disputed.

It took a back seat to GoT but I still watch it on Monday nights.

I have watched every episode, but honestly I enjoy Neil DeGrasse Tyson's youtube lectures and debates much more.

To me, it's just more of the same of what we see on so many other networks available to us today. Nothing special. The original Cosmos was fresh and new in its day, and Sagan's narrative kept you interested whereas Tyson's puts you to sleep, although that could be a result of the dull scripts. With that and my DVR memory at a premium, I've given up on it.

I've given up on it. The original Cosmos was Sagan delivering the script/book he'd written in his own voice. It worked and was brilliant because it was Sagan's thoughts about the world around Sagan.
This Cosmos is NDT reading someone else's words in a manner that is decidedly not what makes NDT usually such a fricking fantastic speaker and champion of science to the layperson and is unwatchable. I had such high hopes, but once I realized that NDT really didn't have much to do with the script and was just hired to read what was on the teleprompter I didn't feel so great about this series. Once I'd seen that the way the show was presented didn't even let NDT's usual personality and delivery come through, I pulled the eject lever and punched out.

i couldn't make it through episode 2. the episodes are not structured well and NDGT isn't a good host
also, as observing as my roommate watches, they do focus on AGW too much. this is a multi-episode show on the universe...it shouldn't be dominated by any one subject like that, regardless of your faith in the science behind it

It wasn't really as far-reaching into the "cosmos" as I hoped the show might be...it seems to focus mostly on the history of our earth and the people who have shaped the voyage of how we got to where we are today in our understanding of various sciences. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just not quite the scope of what I hoped it would be.
