The Human Animal

A fascinating, and at times, titillating examination of everyone's favourite subject - ourselves. This series concentrates more on the interaction of human behavior and biology than any other documentary series I've seen, and comes up with some very intriguing observations and postulations. However, much of the program wanders into the territory of speculation (and perhaps filmmaker bias), but treats these speculations with as much weight as the facts and established theories. A credulous audience could be mislead. This series also trumpeted other dubious attractions, such as the first orgasm filmed...from inside the vagina. Interesting, but...the series is full of such talking points, designed to suck up audience ratings as much as educate, and yet, you can't look away.
