Derren Brown: Sacrifice

Derren Brown's stunts were okay when they were shorter. The format is getting longer, the stories are not. So it goes slow and boring. To an already announced result. That is not that convincing.

Huge Derren fan but his latest release felt very forced and over politicised. Although the main protagonist wasn't an actor it had the feeling that he was in the way he was so forthrite in his views, yet showed a huge amount of compassion when these beliefs were challenged with very basic tasks. Just didn't have that usual uniqueness you come to expect with Derren. It feels like he may almost have some sort of writers block and new releases are now just rehashed versions of older projects. This had the feel of other stuff he's done just in a political guise but despite all that I was still entertained.

I've been following Derren Brown for a long time and have heard of his mighty experiments with a huge production setup. This one was also similar and I enjoyed it. It was very thought-provoking and I have always noticed Derren picking up the right candidate for an experiment and that's one of his biggest skills. This is very important for an experiment like this. Once again he gets the right candidate.

Although thought-provoking I felt a little extreme at times. Don't expect a straightforward experiment. The candidate was perfect for this experiment and as mentioned above Derren's main victory lies in picking that exact candidate.

This was such a well made and thought provoking documentary. It shows how complex yet malleable the human brain really is.

This show is so interesting and eye opening and honestly had a great message almost everyone should see but...I struggle with the manipulation
