The episode titled "Battlefield: Cell", which is the most mind blowing and visually gorgeous episode in the series (in my opinion, of course), is missing. This episode is what drew me in and I begin to watch the show based on having seen Battlefield: Cell. Frankly, none of the other episodes in the series holds a candle to this one. I was surprised to see no one mentioning it in these reviews. My 4 star review is heavily influenced by this one episode. Without it I would give only 2.

Simply an amazing series overall. Can We Live Forever with Adam Savage, Worlds Dirtiest Man with Mike Rowe, Your Body On Drugs with Robin Williams, and from the second season, I Was Mumified with Alan Billis were all simply amazing episodes and I hope they continue this series. I do have to say, it's a shame the second season dropped the individual host per episode routine from the first season, but I can see how that could get complicated and inflate the necessary budget for each episode.
