{television} 30 days; season two (2006)

What better way to give people a crash course in empathy than to have them inhabit somebody else's life for 30 days? That's exactly what Super Size Me director and star Morgan Spurlock does on this popular FX Network show. Season 2 opens with "a border-patrolling minuteman" moving in with an undocumented Mexican family and continues with episodes on abortion, New Age healing, prisons (with Spurlock himself spending time behind bars) and more.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** Another interesting season from a show with an interesting concept, putting someone in a situation that conflicts with their beliefs or their personal views. The religious episode was, of course, the best. The prison episode was a bit disappointing as prison is not always as easy as they made it appear.
