Marc B @RT39191676 06/23/2024 The two parts which I felt had the highest validity were the segment on Near Death and Reincarnation - they both were filled with concrete evidence and professional comments from doctors, and both very convincing. The others not nearly so realistic. See more sofia g @RT70133157 02/10/2023 Do not skip the medium episodes. After reading audience reviews here, I was prepared to hate them, but instead I was pleasantly surprised by the second medium episode. There absolutely is scepticism represented in the show, as well as attempts to find scientific explanations for the occurrences. There are parts that make you go "bullshit", but a lot of it got me thinking. Then again, I'm always a little open to everything. I enjoyed it a lot. I'm really grateful to the guy who always tests the mediums, because that's how I would do it. See more 03/28/2022 Same hogwash you always see on these shows. Murky questions, no science, mediums that all say "did you lose someone close to you"?... Duh ..scam artists.

Why the low rating? They missed a opportunity to have a healthy dose of real skepticism presented vs. than the subject they present as critical thinkers we do get.
