4.8 out of 5 stars from 15.6k ratings
  • First two seasons are the best

    The first two seasons are the best, season three I managed to get half through but couldn’t bring myself to finish it. The way the presenter talks is so unbearable, overly exaggerated and dramatic, it ruins the joy of listening to an otherwise decent representation of the topic.

    No thanks.

    It hurts me that I can only rate the whole show, season one and two definitely deserve five stars.

    But maybe the creators will learn.

  • Seasons 1 and 2

    Seasons 1 and 2 of this podcast are brilliant. Season 2 in particular is one of the greatest seasons of a show ever made. Unfortunately, the show will never be the same without Kevin Fong, and it makes no sense to do a new season about Artemis. Leave a great thing alone.

  • Great Story Ruined by Awful Narration

    Seasons 1 & 2 were excellent, the story was told very well and the narrator got out of the way and let the story be told. Season 3 however… If you ever wanted to listen to a podcast narrated by a female version of the priest from Princess Bride, here’s your chance! The horrible over the top delivery combined with a think accent and speech pattern makes me constantly focus on the narrator and not the story. Please do us a favor and not let Maggie do another season!

  • This series gets worse every season

    Season one, and to some extent season two, were groundbreaking in the sense that instead of telling the same old tired NASA stories, they spent time on engineering challenges, how NASA actually worked, etc. Unfortunately, for season three, they abandoned that and just rehashed the same stories we’ve already heard. And, as other reviewers have noted, the narrator is terrible to listen to.
