This is an interesting documentary about the human body. In each episode there is a dissection by a famous anatomist and a commentary by a pathologist. I was interested to learn more about the body so I watched it - I do have a high toleranc for things like that though, and it's quite graphic so some people may find it confronting. I was disappointed that it didn't go into much detail. The level covered truly was for "beginners" and I'd been hoping to know more. Still, an interesting thing to watch. I bought it on special so it was definitely worth it.
