Human: The World Within

So first of all whether you were taught this 20 years ago, it's still interesting to see and the graphics were brill. Yeah it did drag slightly but touched on some great subjects.

A good Male/Female biological real look at life. Ignore the moaning Mary's and those who identify as none human.

All I can say about this documentary series, is just watch it already. It's incredibly interesting and everything is explained very well and clear. Makes you look at your body in a different way and makes you realize how connected everything in this universe is.

I love documentaries,but netflix have dumped all over the fact side of them to try and push an agenda from the concepts of gender to only using females as the experts. Dull American nasel tones drone on without giving you much in the way of an education about the topic. I'd give it a miss.

"Human: The World Within" (2021 release; 6 episodes of about 53 min. Each) is a new documentary series that looks at what makes us who we are as humans. As Episode 1 "Birth" opens, we are in "Los Angeles, California", and we get to know Alex and Ali, as the voice-over explains to us what "attraction" is all about from a medical perspective. Alex and Ali are professional tango dancers, and have been married for 14 years. Turns out that lust and attraction are fueled by hormones (but not the same kind). We are then introduced to Jacqueline, a 31 yr. Old immigrant from China and expecting for the first time. At this point, we are 10 min. Into Episode 1.

Couple of comments: this is a new documentary series airing on PBS, taking a look at the wonders that are our bodies. As one commentator puts it with amazement: "From one cell to a human being". The first episode "Birth" at times feels like Sex Education 101 but that's okay. It's not a bad thing to get a reminder course on things that many of us take for granted. Yet it also goes much deeper than that: the episode also looks at things like infertility (which occurs a lot more frequently that you might think), miscarriages, and other challenges. And of course also at the pregnancy process itself. Did you know, for example, that the placenta is the only temporary organ that we humans get (only during the pregnancy)? Episode 2 "Pulse" looks at the central role played by the heart, in every possible sense. Future episodes will look at how we "Fuel" our bodies, how we "Defend" our bodies against pain and suffering, etc. The camera work is top-notch, and the initial 2 episodes are well-paced and flew by in no time. I can't wait to see the remaining episodes.

Episodes 1 and2 of "Human: The World Within" premiered this week on PBS and are now available on PBS On Demand and other streaming platforms. New episodes air on Wednesday evenings at 9 pm Eastern. If you have any interest in how the human body functions or simply are in the mood for a good documentary, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

Absolutely no new piece of information whatsoever and the information given is middle school grade at best. No evidence for any research on any specific subject. 3 doctors telling you about why you poop well when you eat green. And why they're constantly smiling and trying to look so happy and energetic?
