Carl Sagan's ability to clearly communicate concepts in simple language without washing down the content of his explanations is such a rare happening, that I found myself in awe of the man right from the start. Having attended science lectures at Columbia University's Physics and Chemistry departments for many years, I can competently judge when a brilliant man can communicate with such ease as to be way above the rest. I have heard many that compare with Stephen Hawkin (he needs a translator) favorably, but not anyone close to what Carl Sagan could do.
That aside, the content of the series is superb. It is stepwise, continuous, logical and factual, except for some personal opinion interjected mostly near the end.
I can only highly recommend this series for anyone with the slightest curiosity about how the physical world exists and how its elements interact as far as we have been able to examine thus far. It is presented in such a way that you become a voyager through space and time, as if on a ride through the "Cosmos".
