After a long wait, Neil deGrasse Tyson’s reboot of Cosmos began airing on Fox this past Sunday night, some 34 years after Carl Sagan launched his epic series on the more heady airwaves of PBS. Fox execs predicted big numbers for the first show — 40 million viewers. But only 5.8 million showed up. But, as we know, quantity has nothing to do with quality. Critics have called Tyson’s show a “striking and worthy update” of the original. If you live in the US, you can see for yourself. Episode 1 appears above, and it looks like the remaining 12 episodes will appear on Hulu. For those outside the US, our apologies that you can’t see this one.

Yo… I watched it yesterday from Spain on FOX’s website (http://www.fox.com/watch/183733315515)
I’m in Spain now.
But when I go to that link, it says you have to be in the US or US territories to watch :(
install an addon called Hola on google chrome or mozilla firefox and you can change your country to USA or any other country on the internet
It turns out I was able to avoid the US resctriction because the computer I used had some kind of enabling plugin installed… Sorry for the disinformation!
Can I watch the next episodes online? Here on Hulu?
