I would love to have seen a study of Wexler rats (genetically addicted ) or rats with attachment disorders would have fared in rat park? These two populations of rats would likely closely resemble what Ken Blum refers to as the reward deficiency syndrome in human genetic experiments. I'ts unfortunate that Alexander's team lost their funding. As an addiction researcher, this really helped me bring a few big gaps in my understanding of addiction together. It never lets up, it never lets you just watch or listen to someone talk about rats.Thanks so much for your time to break this brilliant and important work down and making it so accessible. It's just "scare scare scare, look how scary and gross rats are!" I can't say enough bad things about the music, it truly ruins the entire documentary. There is no attempt made to teach you about the relationship between humans, rats, and the rest of nature. But they deserve to be talked about without being exploited and prostituted like they are in this documentary. All in all this could have been a great documentary, because I do see rats being a potentially fascinating part of our world. Things that could have been talked about weren't, and it just really made the whole thing feel empty and devoid of substance. You'll see entire scenes of people doing things, not talking, and not acting as a visual component to something a narrator is teaching you, because there is no narrator. A great deal of the documentary is what appears to be B roll. At times it's hard to focus on what people are saying because you're also having to listen to high energy music at full volume.


The entire documentary is scored with horror and suspense music, which is just too loud. A great deal This documentary honestly makes me angry, it's so poorly done.
