Science is part of us all. It’s the search for truth in a hostile universe. Our desire to discover, explore, and understand the world within and around us is a universal goal and science is the toolkit. Below are some of the most intriguing science documentaries and series on subjects that range from the inner-workings of our brain to the birth of the universe. Enjoy!

Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World (2016)
Werner Herzog is at it again. He’s asking the big questions about the philosophical implications of scientific evolution via the internet. Herzog’s documentary dives deeply into the inception, birth, and proliferation of the information age and where we as humans are going next as our evolution is propelled by science, technology, and information.
Chasing Ice (2012)
Photographer James Balog set out to find a way to take photos in some of the planet’s harshest environments. The film is a constant exercise in trial and error as the shocking loss of the planet’s ice is documented around the world. Its climate science meets intuitive adventure meets art.
Chasing Coral (2017)
Chasing Coral comes from the same team who brought us Chasing Ice. The documentary follows photographers, divers, oceanographers, and marine biologists around the world as they examine and try to save dying coral reefs. The crew examines how the human impact and climate change are killing off reefs at unprecedented rates worldwide and what the solutions are to save one of the great wonders of planet Earth.
Into The Inferno (2016)
Werner Herzog takes us into an erupting volcano as volcanologists risk their lives so we can better understand what makes volcanoes tick and how they affect all. That access, paired with the poetry of Herzog’s narration and the power of the arresting visuals (with the assist of an outstanding synth soundtrack) make this a singular treasure.
The Story Of Maths (2008, 1 season)
Math is a tool that we use to decipher the mysteries of science and life. This BBC series, presented by Professor Marcus du Sautoy, covers the whole subject from Pythagoras to modern day problems that have yet to be solved. It’s an exhaustive and engaging look into what numbers mean to all of us.
Brain Games (2011, 4 seasons)
Take a deep dive into how our brains deal with stress, addiction, competition, food, trust, and language (among others) in this series. It’s a head-scratching and enlightening journey into ourselves that should give you a greater appreciation for the supercomputer capacity of our own minds.
The Inexplicable Universe with Neil deGrasse Tyson (2012)
If you loved Cosmos and wanted more, then this is the show for you. The Inexplicable Universe is kinda like a warm-up round for all things you wanted to know about the universe, astrophysics, regular physics, and our solar system. The show’s production looks a little dated now, especially compared to its followup, but it still imparts mind-blowing information that matters to all of us.
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (2014)
Popstar scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson teamed up with noted dick joke writer Seth MacFarlane to remake Carl Sagan’s deep dive into all things science — from the birth of the universe to how we metabolize sugars and everything in between. Cosmos was Carl Sagan’s love letter and plea to the world to embrace the wonder and truth of science. It was his ask to humanity to keep seeking answers and explore the nether-regions of our mind and universe. Tyson and MacFarlane have taken the mantle passed down from Sagan and brought it into a super-accessible 21st-century format that includes kid-friendly animation and an all-new Ship of the Imagination. If you loved Sagan’s version, then this remake will not disappoint.
