  • Amazingly deep and funny at same time

    I was particularly enthralled by the “monsters” episode. It offered incredibly deep social psychology wedded perfectly to pop culture examples. It was a funny and enriching episode that has me hooked on a show that provides great insides into social phenomena from actual experts. Love it.
