Shows how changes cause more changes and interactions. For instance; coffee is imported into England;coffee shops in London were a popular place to do business before modern office building came around; investors began looking for ways to make the ships they were bankrolling safer; pine tar was a great way to keep ships watertight…
But I see them as shows that teach you how to learn, and how to want to learn, and how to wonder. About history and technology and science, sure, but also about humanity, and the universe. To look around us in awe and ask ourselves why?, and how?, and to try to find out the answers (and enjoy the process even if we end up not finding them).
The kind of shows every child should watch at least once, or every adult if you haven’t seen them before (never too late!) or feel like having a rewatch.
This is a classic.

Was thinking of Connections myself. Almost on par with Cosmos, I’d say. Definitely a must watch.
I look at Connections as a history show more than a science show.
Plenty of that in Cosmos, too.
