Worth a watch
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much when I saw this. How many times have we seen so called documentaries on this topic before on Channel 4? Usually they aim for shock value and a hint of 'oh look at these freaks'.
What shocked me about this doco was the fact it wasn't aiming for the easy angle and cheap shocks. There's a genuine interest in the subject and it's not all tattoos. The celeb interviews are interesting and the viewer will come away from this with if not a new perspective then a bit more informed.
Yes, you can tell it's done on a budget but there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it achieves a lot more than similar programs with much greater funds and just goes to highlight the lack of skill involved in the making of these 'body shock' shows. Give this a watch if you can.
