User Reviews
A series of fascinating stories supported by statistics. Dig into the podcast if you enjoy this.
Unnecessary if you've read the book which it essentially rehashes. Same for the early eps of the podcast. I'd reccomend those before this.
It’s fun and interesting. Once you’ve seen it you’ve seen it though.
The problem with the freakonomic guys is that they think they think.
Some aspects are better than others, it’s worth a look.
A good take, but it only covers a fraction of the topics the book contains.
Fun documentary applies microeconomics theory to various facets of life. Entertaining watch.
Interesting and boring at the same time
You know like the podcast but not wanted
Far from the amazement of the book but still interesting
