Through the Wormhole arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The access Through the Wormhole gets is remarkable — and the storytelling does full justice to it. Hosted by Morgan Freeman, Through the Wormhole explores the deepest mysteries of existence - the questions that have puzzled mankind for eternity. What are we made of? What was there before the beginning? The involvement of Morgan Freeman signals a level of access rarely granted. It ran for 8 seasons (2010–2017), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The restraint in Through the Wormhole is what makes it trustworthy — it does not need to editorialise to make its point. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Through the Wormhole is the kind of documentary you immediately want to recommend to someone else. Night on Earth is the obvious comparison, but Through the Wormhole earns its own place alongside it. 8 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Morgan Freeman's involvement signals a level of access and cooperation that is hard to secure. The kind of documentary that makes you feel informed rather than manipulated.

Through the Wormhole wrapped up in 2017, created by Geoffrey Sharp — and 8 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
