I don’t like the cartoons either. It cheapens the show.
The original Cosmos had a great musical score!
The cartoons are... unbelievably bad. I mean, really, Matt Groening is one of the producers, it looks like something he put together on his iPad while in another meeting. An awful flash cutaway scene in the middle of a cheap Facebook game, hardly worthy of being on network television.
The continued links back to Sagan are just frustrating. The first episode’s were great, but that should have been the end of it. Instead it is coming across as a tribute show, rather than a continuation of the series.
Just poorly conceived from start to finish.
