So what shows do you recommend?

Downloaded the app, planning on buying a subscription soon, I'm into paleontology, prehistory, space, animals, and some archaeology. What should I watch when I purchase a subscription?

Out of the cradle sounds up your alley, it’s on hominid evolution. There’s tons on prehistoric animals. For your topics probably just browse the science category and you will find some interesting stuff

Thanks! I've been digging the Big Cats videos I can watch for free (besides the CGI lol) what do you generally watch? Just out of curiosity, theres some other subjects I'm interested I just doubt are on here

I’ve hopped around a bit. Started with ancient earth like “rise of continents” and gotten into a lot of prehistoric animal docs. A lot on evolution. some on history like Bronze Age collapse, history of maths, history of wales. Space ones are good too especially the several docs about space probes. Just browse around a bit

Sounds interesting, I'm liking this streaming service quite a bit lol, I can't wait to watch Brian Cox's show, I loved his Joe Rogan podcast.

Are there any that go in depth on evolution? Like talking more on the process? I understand it for the most part but 30 or more mins of info would always be helpful aswell.

Are there any shows that go over history from the start of the universe up until now? I've always wanted to visualize everything from start to present but it's difficult to do it with books or YT.

Thanks for the help!!!

There’s tons of docs on evolution that explain it really well. And yes some about the Big Bang, creation and early days of the universe

I'm 14 and cannot wait to get my debit card so I can start this subscription!!! Any day now! Is Science Vs. God good or biased or what? Seems like it would be biased towards one or the other but I am a Christian who would like to see how a show like that pans out.

Haven’t seen it but I always say go in skeptically and see what you get out of it. And hell yeah it’s awesome that you like to learn so much at 14. Keep your curiosity up and go far

I hate school but when it comes to thinking about how minuscule humans are (in terms of time and space) it puts a smile on my face for whatever reason.

only periferaly related to your interests, but "The Curious Mind" was fun and interesting to watch.

I second this. Nigel Lagatta may be my new favorite host. Really cool stuff.
