DOCUMENTARY OF THE WEEK — Vox’s new five-part Netflix series The Mind: The mind is so complex, sometimes it feels like we need a good old-fashioned Netflix documentary series to help us digest its intricacies. That’s why we highly recommend Vox’s new five-part series The Mind, Explained (watch trailer, runtime: 1:12). The series explores everything from how our memory and dreams work to psychedelics could be used to treat anxiety and other mental illnesses. Even if you’re not really interest, the scientific (but not boring) show will be sure to make good cocktail chatter at parties.
