I was very wary of this show as I lived out many of my days between the ages of 15-20 on some form and varied doses of psychedelics. However, I am MESMERIZED by this series, mostly due to the story of how these magical substances were snatched from civilization by many of the same forces that brought us Fox News. It's a brilliant equation and sheds new light on how we got here and perhaps how we find our way out.

Incredible. The weaving of the history around psychedelics and the culture at the time, was spot on. I lived that history in every way with the exception of a psychedelic experience. A regret as came to understand more. As a Psychologist, as a spiritual seeker, and having depression of my own, I could not be more interested in this possibility. For me, this is much more than an intellectual interest, it is visceral. This series so long in the making, has arrived at the right time for me. I see it as a leap rather than a step along old paradigms. It made it onto Netflix, to me that means that, perhaps, the wider culture is opening.
