Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness

Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness - Quick Review

Getting curious… is not a typical show, but it's not a typical documentary either. It is something different. I gave it a try because I watch Jonathan Van Ness at Queer Eye. And I always find them so lovely and sweet that I needed to check it.

It is a show that teaches you a couple of things. But it mostly makes you curious and more observant about your surroundings. Jonathan, being themselves, is playful, open-minded, and curious about so many different topics.

The topics

The topics they explore have a considerable variety, and they aren't related in any way I can see. It's just stuff about which they are curious. And it works!

They talk about bugs, hair, non-binary gender identity, ice skating, skyscrapers, so many unrelated things! This diversity makes the show interesting. If you are not into one topic, skip for another episode. You'll probably find something that interests you.

I watched all of them, and some had an impact.

Let me tell you that Jonathan is brave! That episode with the bugs was scary. I would scream so much! No way I would hold those things in my hands.

The one about hair also showed us something quite interesting. Hair is Jonathan's thing. They work in the area and know a lot about it, yet, they are always eager to learn, with respect and humbleness.

I especially liked the episode about non-binary people. The testimonials and the conversations were so interesting. It really helps to understand something that still gets me many questions.

Perspective

I think that one of the show's goals was to give us some perspective. The most fascinating was that Jonathan asks some intelligent and interesting questions. They seek to understand the true impact something has on different people. They do not stand for a single point of view.

Besides that, I felt most of the time that it is not about the topic itself but the way it is presented. That's the reason why even though most of the information isn't exactly new, the show is still quite innovative.

It has its voice

The show doesn't have a single topic because the show's topic is curiosity itself. Jonathan's curiosity. Yet, and even talking about so many different things, they were able to find their own voice. They make the show unique. Can you imagine having a teacher like Jonathan? It would be amazing!

Getting curious… is an interesting and easy-to-watch show. A feel-good show. It tries to inspire some curiosity to learn, and it's Jonathan! You can't stay in a bad mood around them!

Can Monsters Love?Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is not just a true crime documentary — it’s a psychological deep dive into one of the most disturbing couples in British criminal history . While the crimes are shocking, the nature of Fred and Rose’s relationship truly unsettles. Were they in love? Or was their bond something far darker? A Match Made in Hell From the moment Fred and Rose met, something clicked. But it wasn’t a love story — it was a dangerous connection built on control, abuse, and mutual cruelty. The documentary shows us how they fed off each other’s darkest urges. It wasn’t about love in the traditional sense. It was about power, domination, and shared depravity. Can Psychopaths Feel Love? This is the big question. Can two people with such extreme psychological disorders really feel love? Some experts believe psychopaths can feel attachment, but not empathy — they might need someone, but not care for them in the way most of us understand....

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Adolescence: A Mirror We Can’t Look Away From

How Can a 13-Year-Old Commit Murder? What was once an absurd, unthinkable question is the central premise of Adolescence , Netflix ’s latest British drama. From the first episode, the show grips you with its raw portrayal of youth violence. It pushes us to confront an unsettling reality—children, barely teenagers, are capable of unimaginable acts. But Adolescence does not sensationalize crime; rather, it dissects it , laying bare the complex web of factors that lead to such a moment. It’s Not About the Victim Unlike many crime dramas, Adolescence does not dwell on the victim. Instead, it forces us to ask: Who is the perpetrator? Who is his family? Who are his friends? What kind of environment produces a child capable of killing? The show wrestles with these haunting questions, exposing the uncomfortable truth that the killer does not come from an easily identifiable “dangerous” background. His family is normal—too normal. This leads us to the most disturbing though...
