The Planets

Brian Cox is, unfortunately, an attempted Carl Sagan that falls really short. When Cosmos succeeded in finding poetry on the making of an apple pie, The Planets had it's possible great moment when using Reykjavik as a scale model of the Solar System but delivered an emotionless and forgettable moment. The best CGI moments of the series are repeated to exhaustion and there is too long of screen time with just Brian Cox walking in places barely related to the subject of the episodes.
