Just watched Netflix's "100 Humans." It's interesting, but I don't think it's interesting in how the producers of the show intended it to be. Some of the experiments used such poorly thought out techniques that it was cringe-worthy. For example, as is common with such shows, the experiments in their "battle of the sexes" episode were so biased and pandering that I'd actually be insulted if I were a woman. Other experiments throughout the entire show had gigantic holes in them.

So, the show was interesting not because of any scientific information it provided, but because it illustrated that "scientific information" can be pulled and pushed into whatever form the presenter wishes the audience to see.

This was a movie I went into completely blind, kind of expecting to think it to be not worth my time. It turned out better than I expected! Yes, the jumping back and forth in time was distracting, but not difficult to follow if you were paying attention. The special effects are about what you'd expect from a made-for-TV movie, if not a little better. The setting was unexpected and refreshing. Certainly not the best movie out there, but not the worst, either. I'd recommend it.
