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!

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response.

Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
