    I agree, to me, some of these documentaries are better than the ones on Netflix at the moment. The Netflix 'docuseries' Explained is so bad it would not be viable on youtube!

    There's a new show based on the Netflix "Explained" series that's "The Mind". They have a great episode on meditation and go into studies involving monks, etc. Highly recommend if you're curious about meditation.

    There was a really good episode of "Explained" on Netflix that talked about diets. They took a study group, and gave half of them low-carb, and the other half a low-fat diet.

    Both groups lost weight equally. They didn't lose weight because of that particular diet, they lost weight because they made better decisions daily, stopped eating out, and stopped buying processed foods.

    There is a Netflix episode on the usage of “!” as part of their “explained” documentary series. You should definitely watch that one :)
