Imagine you haven't had anything to eat in the past 10 days and when you finally find something to eat... it's a plate of leaves! That's exactly the feeling I'm left with after watching an episode of this series. I was hungry for knowledge and got served a plate of superficial blabla. How can you cover, for instance, an extensive topic, such as the meaning of death in a certain religion in 4 minutes? or even 10? There's also something about Morgan Freeman's facial expressions and some of his comments during the interviews that doesn't feel right. Bye, Morgan, you've disappointed me this time!

Special thanks for producing the program that presents your quest to find out how most religions describe "life after death", what different civilizations thought about the act of "creation", "devil" and other big questions of mankind. You have excitingly discussed topics from the perspective of different sciences and different religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, ....), direction that fewer researcher really has (If we don't count fanatic researches that redirect the truth and do not have holistic approach) and especially in order to have authenticated result. Unfortunately absence of "Baha'i faith" and its practical visions those are related to puberty period of human civilization is obvious and questionable. Religion must conform to science and reason, otherwise, it is superstition and in return, the present scientific view is not always correct, neither is truth only limited to what science can explain. It is less than one month that I have found this special series but as you are using reasoning powers to understand the truths ,it is really attractive to me and I am impatiently waiting for releasing next season of this series including baha'i opinions included.

I usually don't write stuff on IMDb but i felt like this series is going a little unnoticed so here goes:I just finished the first episode and it was amazing! First i should tell that I'm a Muslim and i've been looking for something like this in a really long time. A documentary about religions and different aspects of them, without taking any side on what's right or wrong, just informing people about what's going on with people of other nations.Once again Morgan Freeman plays the role of the narrator astonishingly. We see him travel around the world and become familiar with different beliefs and cultures. It doesn't matter if you're a Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Christian or even a non-believer, this series takes you on an epic journey to see other cultures and history of the world. Definitely a must see and a masterpiece.

I liked the first installment of this series. Morgan Freeman's soothing and questioning voice lured me into an age-old pursuit: the big 'Q' regarding the big 'G''. MF touched on some of the bigger religion's views on an afterlife. When discussing God, the hereafter surely comes into play. Of course, this was just an intro into the whole God question and the myriad subtopics it conjures up. However, I like where it's headed and look forward to seeing more. It actually (quite refreshingly) gave my spiritual skepticism a light at the end of the tunnel to ponder, which in turn made me feel less skeptical and more spiritual. Likey.
