Un monde où les expériences peuvent être éthiquement controversées et les résultats complètement hallucinants. Des efforts rocambolesques d�un scientifique pour ramener les morts à la vie, aux lavages de cerveaux désastreux de la CIA, en passant par une chanson ayant causé la mort de dix-huit personnes, Expériences Interdites invite les téléspectateurs à méditer sur les limites de la science et de la connaissance.
