If you enjoy speculative science and big-picture “what happens next” scenarios like Through the Wormhole or Modern Marvels, this can be a fun watch; Not for you if repetitive episodes, shaky effects, or disputed facts will bother you.
Pros: fascinating what-if premise; expert commentary; nature reclaiming visuals | Cons: repetitive episode structure; uneven CGI quality; credibility questioned by some
