Limitless (TV Series) Stress-Proof (2022) User Reviews

Okay Start

High production quality makes for an engaging experience. Somewhat corny dialogue from Chris.

I don't think that any of his training really made much of a difference to how he would have approached the challenge at the end of the episode.

Stress techniques discussed weren't particularly insightful: positive self-talk, segmentation of challenge into discrete steps, box breathing, mindfulness meditation.

Pretty clear that they were trying to incorporate minority women as much as possible: What are the odds that they were randomly assigned a minority female firefighter for part of the training?

Just OK science. Better than average, but not high quality, though.

Documentaries these days are more about the visuals, the cool movie stars and "extreme" experiences but no much science. I learned more from reading the first paragraphs about stress on Wikipedia. That said, this documentary is way better than the Will Smith's one.

A stress training, or any "training" whatsoever, takes more than a couple of days to get incorporated into one's mind and body. And because of that, I think this chapter is a bit misleading. People want everything right away, but that's not how psychology and permanent change works. The techniques shown in the show are accurate and effective, but not in such a short time. At that stage, they are just tricks that may work or not in real situations.

Also, the stress response is a normal and necessary response in situations such as walking down a crane 200+ meters high. It's a survival response! And it's not only measured by beats per minute.

31.42 dollars worth of taco bell

I ordered 32 dollars worth of taco bell and was watching this first episode. They definitely made me worried more about Thor's life, making me think he may get Diabetes if he didn't walk the high line. Very scary. Three crunchy tacos, three soft tacos and a cheesy Gordita crunch. Great story! P.s. Chris has stress and he needs to get on top of it. Yummy! P..s.s this is too short! I also ordered some fire sauce! The women tries to drown Chris and then burn him alive, the god of thunder's two friends come along. It's great! I can't submit this because there aren't enough characters?!? Very confused.
