My father recommended to this with dubious praise: "You know those kind of indulgent single-issue documentary series? Well this is one of those but it's genuinely very interesting." That it is. Led by the charming science communicator Dr. Ben Garrod, we have six episodes entirely about skin, divided into categories of function and it's by-and-large utterly fascinating. There's a sort of winningly dated "you're being forced to watch this in science class at school" vibe about the presentation but it rattles along at a great pace and I genuinely learned tonnes that I didn't previously know. Fair play dad, good choice.
