    Wildly informative about all kinds of people

    The first episode I watched was about blind people. I raise Guide Dog pups, and spend a bit of time with blind people and I learned a lot from this episode.

    The show tells you a lot about all kinds of people, including the people who ask the questions, and in some cases act very poorly towards others who are different.

    Although the show is quite emotionally taxing, I highly recommend it. You may find some of the subjects very uncomfortable, but you'll learn something about what these various groups of people have to deal with in their daily lives, and how unbelievably brave they are to be a part of this documentary. It gives you a chance to walk a mile in other people's shoes.

    Giving human and intimate insights into real lives

    No matter the particular subject of each episode, I find myself responding in a similar way to this show and its brave stars. Each episode a particular 'minority' is allowed, and courageous enough, to reveal sometimes very personal aspects of their lives to the audience. I always learn something I didn't know, often feel a tear for how people are treated by others and always get a laugh. The world could do with more of the understanding that this show engenders.

    re masochism

    well i am fairly average and watched these shows when i was cornered ..no sport of interest left unseen , no new news , and open to witness deviations that would confirm my opinions and head off for an early night ..but instead was left in awe of courage at least , and stuff not harmful to others .. feeling i have much to understand but happier for the experience , thanks

    A show everyone should watch!

    The title of the show says it all. Though some hard topics are covered such as suicide, every one of the participants openly shares and answers questions you may not have thought about but find yourself wanting the answer to.

    Our society could do with a little more understanding of those around us which have been dealt a different hand. This show pushes a lot of barriers and really does hit hard at times.

    What this world needs more of

    This show gives me hope for an increasing divisive world. Littered with insightful and genuine moments, answers lots questions that have passed through my mind while also shining a spotlight on my own preconceptions.
