Show more >> Wonders of the Moon with Dara Ó Briain feels like a mixed bag. On one hand, Dara's charm and wit make for an enjoyable host, and the visuals are undeniably impressive. However, I found myself wanting more depth in the discussions. The series touches on fascinating concepts about the moon's impact, but at times it skims the surface rather than exploring the intricacies of lunar science. It’s a delightful watch if you're looking for something light and visually appealing, but those seeking a more in-depth scientific exploration might feel a bit let down. The series does spark curiosity, which is admirable, but I hoped for a little more substance alongside the style. Show less
