I don't know if this show is still on the air, I didn't look into that. But from the handful of episodes of it that I've watched, it just makes me want to hug some of the people in the show.

From what I gather, the show's basically a social experiment. They hire actors to play out scenes, in public locations, that generally have a victim and an aggressor -- real life scenarios. Things that actually happen. The point is to see how other people react to it; do the people (who have no knowledge of the fact it's a television show) intervene, to help the victim, or do they side with the aggressors, or just stay quiet? In the episodes I've watched, it's primarily the last, with a small handful actually helping out -- it's the people who help out who I just want to hug.

IMO, it's a pretty neat series and I'd recommend it to about anyone.
