Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman
Anyone else watch this show? I recently got into it, just watching 2 episodes, one about CERN and the Hadron Collider and another about black holes. I'm addicted now.

Yeah, I watched it first run and really liked it. Not as much as The Universe and How the Universe Works.
The episode about the Membrane Universes blew my mind and was miles over my head but still enjoyable.

(Silver Spring, Md.) The iconic Morgan Freeman returns to SCIENCE on Wednesday, June 8, at 9:00 PM (ET/PT) for a second season of the breakthrough series, THROUGH THE WORMHOLE WITH MORGAN FREEMAN. Each of the ten world-premiere episodes poses an all-new question that spans space, science and the unknown - and peaks Freeman's insatiable curiosity. THROUGH THE WORMHOLE WITH MORGAN FREEMAN breaks down the walls of conventional television to explore the puzzles that have captivated mankind since our origin. In conjunction with the season premiere on June 8, SCIENCE will officially launch the network's new logo and on-air look.
"My love affair with science and the unknown began for me in my high school physics class," said Freeman. "My mind sprung open - all because of the questions I asked. In this new season of THROUGH THE WORMHOLE, we will explore ten new mystifying questions that will change the way you look at the world around you."
Season two begins with arguably the most provocative question of all: "Is There Life after Death?". Other topics explored in season two include; "Is There an Edge to the Universe?", "Can We Live Forever?" and "What Do Aliens Look Like?" Combining stunning visuals with innovative scientific research, season two examines the astonishing theories of world-leading experts at the forefront of mankind's search for truth. Each episode also boasts original scores from the incomparable, Academy-AwardŽ Winning composer, Hans Zimmer - himself the son of a scientist.
"THROUGH THE WORMHOLE WITH MORGAN FREEMAN is a defining franchise for SCIENCE," said Debbie Adler Myers, general manager and executive vice president for SCIENCE. "This series connects the world of deep science with the beauty and wonder of the human mind - and there is no better guide for this journey than Morgan Freeman. He and his team at Revelations Entertainment are the perfect partners for this project."

Really enjoyed the first series, so will definitely be watching this. Totally agree that this is one of the better shows of this type at striking a balance between keeping it understandable while still including cutting edge scientific theory.

Didn't like the premiere at all. Could barely stay awake through all the brain, and afterlife stuff. They showed a repeat of my favorite one from last season before it so this one suffered greatly by comparison.
Hope the topics get more interesting going forward. Looking at the episode descriptions it looks like I won't care for 5, 9 and 10.
