9/10
Beautiful and immersive

Very beautiful and awe-inspiring documentary. I found myself with open mouth on multiple occasions.

Some of the facts were told in a bit weird order, though. Only in the episode after Jupiter (A gas giant), did they actually explain what that meant: Can you walk on it? Nope. You'd fall through it, and get crushed by the planet's own atmospheric pressure. I already knew that, by the next episode, because I had always wondered what such a planet would be like - So I googled it, doing the episode about Jupiter. Got annoyed they didn't mention that in the Jupiter-episode. Got doubly annoyed by the next episode, where they they finally explained that. Probably wasn't their first priority, but still seems vital to me, to explain what this giant mass is, exactly. You can't just say "Oh, it's a 'gas giant', and then bla bla bla".

But yeah, other than small things like that, I really enjoyed the show. Loved it.

9/10.
