A User's Guide to Cheating Death (2017)
Living it up cheating death
For those familiar with Professor Caulfield's books ("A Cure for Everything" and "Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong about Everything?") you will know that he is an unapologetic debunker of health myths. This series is an artful expression and extension of the concepts in those books.
In the series, Professor Caulfield traverses the globe in a never ending quest to challenge baseless health beliefs. He does so in a humorous, often self-deprecating way, while always ensuring that science remains the star.
The production value is very high and is somewhat in the style of Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown". It is intimate, informative, and always insightful.
In the end, you might not be able to cheat death, but you will learn how to live a more balanced and healthy life and, for those reasons, the show is well worth the watch.
