Nova

A previous reviewer accused "Nova" of dumbing down science. I disagree. The PBS series looks at almost ever scientific topic, breaking it down so that everyone can understand it. The series shows us that there is so much to learn about the universe, and even our own world. Whether it's environmental issues, reproduction, or invention, there's so much to learn. Anyone hoping to know more about anything should definitely watch it.

I understand that creator Michael Ambrosino based "Nova" on the BBC's "Horizon". I've never seen that one, so I can only take this one at face value. The conclusion is that it's one of the best shows out there. I recommend it.

This has been a long-standing PBS series that is the gold standard for documentary series.

I remember watching as a child with fascination one episode about the Voyager spacecraft, and another about whales.

Long may she live!

I've been hooked the great PBS series since the 1970s

I have watched Nova for years. I don't know when I started watching Nova. I wish I knew.

I like Science so I always find Nova exciting. I don't like every episode equally. But, mostly I think I learn something for having spent 55 minutes watching Nova.

Nova is so relaxing that it makes me sleepy. The narrators are so calming. For me it would be the perfect show to watch before going to sleep at night.

Nova seems to have shows about everything to do with science. There have been episodes on math, Einstein, Architecture. I remember one episode was about how a great pyramid might have been built. A group of people was trying to build their own pyramid.

Nova also has episodes on hacking, storms, driverless cars, robotics, earthquakes. Basically if it has to do with science Nova probably has an episode about it.

Its impossible for me to think of my favorite episode of Nova. There are so many episodes. Well probably my favorite episode of Nova had to do with a Darpa competition for robots. I also liked one on driverless cars.

I won't say nova is a can't miss show for me. But, I do enjoy watching it sometimes.

That is exactly what I think every time I watch this. Countless times I have felt like I have just read a long meaningful book after watching this. It follows everything extensively and always includes a wide variety of opinions. PBS seems to always get the ball on the barrel of the bat when comes to almost anything. Nova is not just a home run it is a moonshot just like the channel PBS itself. Nova is such a great show because it is able to explain anything when it comes to about anything. From physics and chemistry to history and archeology things that seem so complex are able to be translated perfectly through this show.
