Loved the subject, but why cheese it up with a Barbie model narrator?
I was immediately drawn to the subject matter of this documentary. But very quickly all credibility vanished with the scantily-clothed beautiful model/host and her attempts at handling subject matter as serious as life/death and the afterlife.
All I can imagine is one of the producers or writers said "I've got this gorgeous girl who will probably date me if I can get her this gig" That is about as serious as anyone could ever take her presence in what could have been a GREAT documentary. The science and the experts were great; the research done was really interesting...but the tank-top wearing college girl? Just RUINED all the credibility this documentary could have had. Why not a narrator with experience or knowledge on the subject?
There's no need for "eye candy" with a subject this serious and life changing.
