One of the basedest niggas I have ever seen.

Is this a good science documentary?
I used to watch it when I was a kid. A few days ago I reminded myself about it and started a rewatch. What I really like about it is the fact that they show various approaches and opinions about a certain matter. In the episode about God or just the creator, there was a priest/scientist, Antony Lisi who came up with "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything", Michael Persinger with his theory about god in our mind, or the man who talked about a simulation theory. This documentary seems to be at the very professional level but the disadvantage is that they barely brush these topics as each episode talks about a different matter.
The second episode is about black holes and I think I didn't understand that topic too well. While theory about the massive black hole in the centre of our galaxy was quite easy to understand, the real difficulty began with Leonard Susskind and his spring theory. It was said that after all he was right in his argument with Stephen Hawking but I don't understand why. So I have the second question here, what would you recommend to read to learn the basics of astronomy and make it easier to watch the show without looking up certain terms and rewinding it several times. I feel like there's so much there, I forget most of the stuff.
