IMDb has this show listed under the wrong title


The real title is surely "Ways the Universe Can Kill You: Sensationalized and Simplified"

Actually, I enjoy the show, but sometimes I wish they'd focus a bit less on how the universe can kill you and tone down the tabloidy approach.

The thing with being a fan of shows like this is back in 2012 when my sister said all the apocalypse talk was ridiculous and what could possibly happen, I told her we could get hit by a asteroid, or the super-volcano under Yellowstone could blow up etc., etc, etc. I didn't think the world was gonna end on December 21, but I was NEVER gonna say it couldn't happen. 😁

Haha--yeah, it gives you ammunition for situations like that.

I just ideally want a show that's like a university-level astrophysics course taught by a charismatic, entertaining professor . . . well, or at least like a contemporary continuation of Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

Imagine if you were to attend an astrophysics course at Princeton and all the professor did was talk about how various things can kill you (all while comparing them to vampires and zombies). Haha
