Video of the Week: Isolation – Mind Field (Ep 1) (by Vsauce)


Vsauce’s new YouTube Red series, Mind Field, is an interesting watch. It’s essentially one of Michael’s regular videos, but with a bit more in depth hands on approach to what he’s explaining. This episode, he tackles the subject of boredom and what lengths we will go to keep ourselves occupied. He has already explored boredom once before, but whilst Michael did give us some useful and interesting information, it was only a brief exploration as it was a subtle tangent from the main subject in that particular video.

Michael talks with professionals and people who have involved themselves with certain procedures to help with relaxation, giving the same feel as any other science TV show. After watching the video, he showed us a preview of the up-in-coming episodes, and of course, they are Vsuace videos, so they will always be worth the time to watch as you are guaranteed to learn something new every time. He packs so much information into one video, whilst you are able to follow him and understand it all, when you come round to watching his videos again, you do find something that you’ve either forgotten, or missed during the first time you watched the video.

I do want to watch this series, but the problem is, Vsauce is the only series I am interested in on YouTube Red, and whilst I would be seeing all episodes of Mind Field, when this series is over, there may not be anything I would like to watch between series, if he does make another series that is. I’m torn between the two thoughts, and it’s hard to decide.


Overall, this episode has given me a great first impression, it is essentially the same as any other Vsauce video, but just with a bit extra ingredients, making the series unique but just as enjoyable.

Thanks for reading
