Human: The World Within

Filled with facts I learned well over 10 years ago. Sprinkled in some very rare new information, along with some director's idea of cool shots of people walking and totally unnecessary B footage.

It's like they took 1 episodes worth of info, and spread it out over a series. Then they sprinkled in some agendas, and bewildering choices of footage.

I was very excited to watch this, but ended up tapping out, and skipping ahead for most it in search of anything interesting.

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.

There's a repetition of the same images, especially the brain connectors over and over, as well as an overdramatization of some events to "make it" more interesting. Some of the cool stuff to learn end up getting blurred by the editing of this show. It could have been an hour documentary rather than a whole series.

Love this series by Netflix. A lot of hard work has gone into making this spectacular masterpiece.

I just have one beef with it. In the third episode they were discussing fasting and they chose a Hindu to highlight it's benefits. Puhleez! If there is any one religion that is associated with fasting, it's Islam. Thirty consecutive days of not eating, drinking or smoking anything from dawn to dusk. And this fasting is a must for every Muslim, unless he is too ill.

I believe Netflix missed the trick here. Would have loved to have had them explore this phenomenon, from a scientific perspective.

Anyways, this is a brilliant effort. A must watch.
