1 Are We All Bigots?
4/29/15
Season-only
If you had less than one second to make a life-or-death decision to shoot a man who might be armed with a lethal weapon, science shows that Americans -- black and white -- are more likely to mistakenly shoot a black man than a white man. Why?
2 Can Time Go Backwards?
5/6/15

We move around in space, but we are stuck in a prison of time moving ever forwards. Is our experience of the ticking clock merely a trick of the mind? Could science ever make the clock move backwards?
3 Are We Here for a Reason?
5/13/15
Season-only
Evolution tells us that all life exists for one purpose: to reproduce. But is that all there is? How could such a simple imperative lead us to create great civilizations? A new theory suggests that instead of passing on genes, we have another purpose.
4 Do We Live in the Matrix?
5/20/15

Our universe seems real. But what if it's a videogame? If you thought The Matrix was only a farfetched movie fantasy, think again. Scientists in a variety of fields are taking seriously the possibility that we live in a virtual reality.
5 Are Aliens Inside Us?

Season-only
Odds are excellent that extraterrestrial life exists. So why haven't we found aliens out in the galaxy? Are we looking in the wrong places? New research shows we should look closer to home, even inside our bodies.
6 Why Do We Lie?

Season-only
Are our brains wired for lying from a young age? The brains of pathological liars may provide insights. Will technology make it easier for us to be dishonest, or could it someday instantly reveal someone is lying?

Important and crucial thought provoking presentations by Morgan Freeman on the latest scientific, technological, and psychological discoveries and research. Later seasons explore, time, security, privacy, why all humans are liars, biased, prone to evil and terrorism...Ought to be required viewing for inept career politicians-their ignorance is criminal.

High level science turned simple for business people and less educted science lovers. It explains the now, the next, and the future in an entertaining and educational way that can be utilized by VCs as well bar patrons looking for a great discussion tomorrow. Plus it gives space for common men to make opinions to amazing research. If I could give it ten stars I would, bravo Morgan, finally a reason to turn on a television.

Doesn't matter what I think about the show. Stop relying on the biased opinions and preconceived notions of others to determine whether or not this series is worthy of experiencing for yourself. Especially upon taking into consideration, there has never been two grown individuals made up of the exact same beliefs, life experience, morals, knowledge, interests, chemical makeup, and so on. In conclusion, many of us on a daily basis really should try to limit the amount of experiences we certainly can have however, choose not to, based solely on the opinions of many who we, and even themselves, know next to nothing about. Rather than basing your life's path on what you think you know about what others think they know including myself, the bottom line is everyday and TODAY especially, YOU have the opportunity to start experiencing YOUR life for YOURself.
