To me, this movie is perfection.

The Worst Film Ever

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Blistering performances.

I would watch it for the knowledge you can gain and the warnings. However it is odd and more unnerving than need be. Overdoing and dragging out the drama, trying to make cute or clever segway and summaries, repeating scenes and lines over and over. With a little change this could really be my of tea.

Like many of the reviews already here, I found this show to be a (slightly) more tasteful version of the American show "1000 Ways to Die." I did enjoy the overall presentations of the events and circumstances of each individuals demise. In most cases the performances were respectful, if a bit over dramatic, and the science and explanations of each event were well presented and quickly became my favorite part of the show.However; like my fellow reviewers, I found the show's minor attempts at dark humor were entirely unnecessary. Unfortunately this isn't the reason as to why I have given the show such a low rating. My biggest criticism comes from the reporting of various facts and details regarding the individuals featured in the program. After hearing about one of the cases featured in the show, I would often try to learn more about them. A quick google search would allow me to read on about the case, and usually exposed a facet or detail that the show had gotten wrong. Changed names, wrong locations, or misreported circumstances were a frequent discovery while I was watching this show, and the primary reason why I cannot rate it any higher.

I could not agree more with what one reviewer, who said "constantly working in the title of the show at the end of every story was extremely irritating". Seriously. It's so bad that I came here just to review on how obnoxious and irritating this is. What a headache. It's a shame because the show is otherwise quite a great idea.

These are indeed interesting and usually unexpected ways to die. The re- enactments are supplemented by factual information provided by experts, either in a general (scientific) sense or while extrapolating the specific circumstances that had to take place in order for the unique fatal event to occur. Can work as cautionary tales, but my biggest objection is that the narration appears to be attempting to make light of the misfortune experienced by the victims. This doesn't work because in 98% of the cases the victims couldn't have possibly known that they were putting their lives at risk. These people, in most cases are not stupid deaths, and as a result the narrative tone does them a huge disservice and strikes me as very disrespectful. That is the only reason I dropped my score as much as I have.Despite this I do see merit in the program, and it is the essentially my only objection to the show. As the first reviewer states, this is not for the squeamish or delicate (although none of the depictions are particularly graphic), but there is still valuable and intriguing information contained within the contents of this show. Definitely worth watching for the right audience and as a learning tool.
