A remake of the original series hosted by Carl Sagan, Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey takes us on an incredible journey, showing us topics ranging from the origin of life on our planet to massive black holes lurking in the depths of space. Another well-known science communicator is hosting and narrating this version of Cosmos, namely Neil deGrasse Tyson. The charismatic director of the Hayden Planetarium does an excellent job replacing his childhood idol Sagan and is the main reason the second iteration of cosmos was so successful. It rightfully claims the top spot on our list of 11 best space documentaries on Netflix streaming in 2015.
