First episode of the Discovery Channel's How the Universe Works series. Appropriate subject for the first episode is of course the Big Bang. Beginning of the Universe is a very common subject in documentaries and usually it's quite poorly explained, putting the weight on displaying the big explosion all over the screen and screaming about how big and hot it was while not giving any interesting information. This one on the other hand is pretty good, it still screams all that about explosions and heat but actually does a good job on informing the viewer what we currently know about it. My only disappointment was the part about the faster than light space expansion, it was poorly explained without going into any detail. Still it's better than most other such documentaries that don't even mention that.
