Yup easy to get depressed about this stuff. It would be a better show if they paused it at critical moments and allowed an Allison Gopnik to talk about child development, a Jonathan Haidt to talk about motivation, a John Gottman on relationships etc etc. Lots and lots of teachable moments It's a great show, but to expect people to arrive at healthy/positive conclusions by themselves isn't realistic. There is too much information presented. It's sort of like handing Copernicus, Brahe and Keplers observations of decades worth of planetary motion to everyone and expecting people to work out Keplers Laws and Gravity by themselves. Not going to happen. It requires a whole lot of deep cognition for decades to make meaning out of all that data and that too if you are surrounded by the right people. So whatever it is stirring in you, know that this is the age of knowledge, and use such programmes as jumping off points to go look for the best teachers to process things. It's easy to find them these days and there are so many out there.
