This series is a great "what if" series that presents you with scientific facts and opinion. If you enjoyed the other series he (Jeremy Wade) has done, you'll surely like this one, especially if you're like me and enjoy these oddities of the world.
I'm not sure where the low rating is coming from on this one - plenty of good laughs. The first episode has me hooked!
Update: Make sure you're okay with vulgar language. HILARIOUS
I was looking for something to explain the history tidbits that I had in my head from years of past research and out comes this from the shadows.
Perfect. Not overdramatic for TV, sticking to facts and presenting all stories from all sides.
