I tried to keep watching, but the "documentary" is filled with commentators who keep creepily smiling and using condescendingly simple language. One woman didn't stop smiling at all, not even when talking about anxiety or panic attacks, or yes, even heart attacks! She probably never heard the expression "as serious as a heart attack", because that woman just couldn't stop her Joker Face.
Another problem, aside from the patronizing explanations, is how little info you get. If you finished high school, you will NOT hear anything new. The 'case studies' are just an excuse to try and make everything seem more interesting (e.g. Rock climber to explain that when you work out, SHOCKER, your heart has to work harder). In reality this blurrs the otherwise obvious truth: they're not really actually INFORMING you a lot.
It reminded me of those shockfactor series where they re-enact some true crime/distaster you've never heared of before and they keep showing the same shots over and over with dramatic visuals and sounds to cover up the fact nothing much at all is happening. It's the Michael Bay of documentaries.
