I seem to be the only person I know that thought this show was horrendous. I had to turn it off halfway through the first episode because it was just too eager, too twee, and too corny. Every character was a caricature of a real person. So hard to watch.

This show is cloying, predictable, and incredibly overrated.

The original commenter asked what country isn't homophobic - so (s)he was conflating the behavior of one homophobe with the whole country.

The Netherlands (where Mirjam is from), Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland: not everywhere is as backwards as the Thalys worker here...

This was a post about Little Edie. We covered Albert Maysles separately. Sorry if this displeases you.

This gets all the stars lol

I have had grown adults throw tantrums because we wouldn't take photos of them serving the homeless people, nor would we let them photograph the clients. We have a designated group of our regular volunteers who would walk through the meal line up for photographs - and even them, only their hands were photographed.…

Nothing like a little nausea & diarrhea to add a little zest to a 150 year old bouquet.

Laurie Garrett's "The Coming Plague" is excellent as well.

Some of the replies on here are a little disturbing. It's easy to be snarky, but saying things along the lines of "this bitch will be back, she just wants his money" ignores the very, very real possibility that she's a victim of Brown's long, well-documented history of abuse and obvious lack of mental stability. Abuse…

Yep. Biochemist here, this is so unlikely it doesn't crack the top 25 of pathogenic catastrophes I'm worried about.

I love microbes - the grosser, the better. But yeah, sometimes I just wish I didn't know so much about filthy germs and how ubiquitous they are.

Iceland? Do you live in Iceland? Tell me you live in Iceland.
