Biased
This show can be informative, and educational, but some episodes are clearly socially motivated and coercive. A documentary is made to educate, using scientific data and ethical, unbiased reporting. Some of these episodes however, rely on socially motivated testimony, anecdotal evidence, and pop-culture pseudoscience to convince the audience of one point of view or perspective. These episodes are much closer to a coercive essay or even propoganda, leading the audience to believe the opinion of the new-age narrative to be fact, rather than reporting on all perspectives and data leaving the conclusions to the audience.
Be weary if you leave the show feeling convinced of something; documentaries should educate and inform an audience, using ethical reporting and unbiased opinions without presenting a conclusion so that the audience can reach conclusions or opinions of their own. A documentary or report should not, however, aim to convince an audience using coercive language, unethical reporting, and motivated testimony to support the conclusion drawn or thesis or presented to be true.
Very hit and miss
Some episodes are really well researched and informative. There are some that make you want to understand the topic more and happily research it further. However, others are a very biased monologue with a very specific ideological narrative that doesn't give the 360 view that something that is explaining a topic should give.
Embarrassingly biased but also informative
The show is very biased to left wing ideas which isn't necessarily a bad thing if that's your preferred view on the world but it can be obviously omitting details and sides to the argument that wouldn't be consistent in their narrative. Regardless the show does educate on both important and just interesting issues and topics with good production and some scientific backing. Worth a watch if you don't mind it not being 100% objective.
Another show lost to bias
Used to like it until the agenda creeped in.
There's an episode on brainwashing which literally tries to brainwash the younger viewer.
It is very important to learn impartiality without this science is dangerous.

Worth it your time during breakfast!
It's a cool docuseries dealing with current topics affecting us as society. While it doesn't go deep into the subject, it brings a brief and interesting debate about each topic.
