The verdict
NOVA holds up as a perfectly decent English series, if not a remarkable one. It's sitting at 7.0/10 on TMDB across 141 ratings, which puts it comfortably above average. Episode length hovers around 55 minutes. In Canada you can stream it on PBS Documentaries Amazon Channel.
Is it worth starting?
This is 53 seasons deep — English documentary. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- 7.0/10 from 141 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
