When the show first debuted, it was actually not bad. Supermassive blackholes, quasars, dark energy, dark matter. Colliding galaxies. All interesting topics.
But, when you see 14 years of reruns of these same programs while many new materials are obtained from newly launched telescopes, rovers and probes, those same "astrophysicists" started to become quite annoying to watch.
Other than the narrators in the background, those "scientists" with overly exaggerated facial features and hand gestures (that do not add any benefits for audience's better understanding of the Universe) are just distraction and main reason for us to reach for the remote control and change channel.
It would be better if the shows can be updated or even better, new shows produced, to include science discoveries since 2010. Our understanding of the Universe has grown. New evidences gathered and new technologies used.
But we are stuck with the same, outdated shows for decades.
A bit like watching "Friends" or "Two and a half men" for the Nth times. Not interesting anymore.
Please, more science, less talking heads.
