I haven't seen the faces of death series, though being 28, I grew up hearing about them from friends, and the mystery has always remained. I thought this might be a good explanation of the series - I was wrong. However, I should have known that it would be a waste of time, since it was made by the same people who made faces of death. Adding to the comments of others, I have to ask, what is the deal with that horrible "Doctor" actor? Is this thing tongue in cheek, or are they really assuming the audience is so stupid that we won't see through this?
If you want a good documentary, watch PBS or Discovery.
If you want a good fake documentary, rent Spinal Tap.
