Here is the link to the article with a detailed explanation of why each show was picked complete with a side show.

The show however has zero scientific integrity and you can't trust anything on it. Quick checks online reveal that much of the content is being chosen purely for entertainment value even when its provably false. Take the "God Helmet" for instance. It generates a magnetic field one million times too weak to penetrate the human skull and have any effect on the human brain. The "scientist" is simply putting suggestable people into a sensory deprivation chamber and using the helmet as a prop. Why watch this, when there are really good documentaries out that actually care about scientific integrity?
P.S. I love Morgan Freeman's work on this series, his presentation is nothing short of captivating, but he might as well be reading from the national enquirer.
