This program follows in the footsteps of Shatner's "Weird or What" series with much of the same content and themes. I watched the episode dealing with viruses and only parts of 2 others, so be aware of that when reading this review.
The virus episode stated some very valuable and good information but on at least two occasions, it veered into the 'paranormal' nonsense and that really turned me off. What's different about this show (as opposed to say "Ancient Aliens") is that while they mention unexplained incidents, they do not lend any credence to them necessarily.
I thought they did a good job of explaining the history of viruses and plagues and the origin of vaccines, though they could have gone much more in depth.
In summary, the fact that I watched it beginning to end is a good indication that this is not a show that focuses on paranormal subjects and that is a good thing. I could easily be a much better and more worthwhile program but as it is, it's tolerable and I did enjoy parts of it. 7/10 for me.
