Explained: Unser Kopf

Without too much fluff and with a sober scientific approach, they are nailing it imo. But there is still a lot of subjects not covered, please give me another season!

The first three episodes were really interesting, and covered a good range of fascinating material. The episode on mindfulness wasn't bad, but relied more on practitioners and less on objective facts. But then, the episode on hallucinogens really pulled the series down. It relied on scant facts to pull together a case for further investigation into hallucinogens. Perhaps there's a case for this, but it didn't fit well into a series based much more on science and the mind in the natural world. There are so many aspects of the mind which could have been explored. This last episode also took away from some of what had been presented in the Mindfulness episode.

A documentary series on how our mind works, how it governs what we do and how it can be manipulated. Included are topics like memory, dreams, creativity, anxiety, drugs and how to focus.

A series that started off very interestingly with topics like memory, dreams, anxiety and psychedelics. The material seemed well-researched and the interviewees were clearly knowledgeable about the subject. Was also very relevant, as you could see how these effects and processes applied practically.

However, Season 2 was less objective. We had episodes like Teenage Brain and Brainwashing which were less about knowledge of the human brain and more about political agendas. The whole thing just felt less thorough and more an editorial.

How to Focus was really good though and I really enjoyed Creativity, largely because it had a detailed discussion on the Talking Heads song 'I Zimbra'!

Really interesting documentary it covers topics such as memory, dreams, anxiety, psychedelics and more. Ive seen 2 episodes so far hopefully the rest of the season is just as good

It covers topics such as memory, dreams, anxiety, psychedelics and more. It had in detail, but made simple for the audience to understand the concept. Furthermore, it has 5 episodes with 20 minutes. All relate to the idea of good health and wellbeing.
