Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness

Jonathan Van Ness is a bubbly, non-binary hairdresser with a gift for comedy. He uses his natural curiosity and personal warmth to interview experts on various topics, which he then experiences with the audience. His guileless sense of wonder and teenage language make him the perfect host for an educational series aimed at children and the young at heart,

This series is a wonderful gift to LGBTQ and non-binary children who don't see themselves represented on Sesame Street or other educational shows. It's fun and it's cool for straight old people like me, too.

Binge watched! Absolutely loved the variety of topics covered. Whilst the first episode was interesting, I did not particularly enjoy it as much as the others (hence the 9 out of 10) but if you feel the same, stay with it. Hope there will be more episodes in the future!

Why make a serious docu-series when you can be fun? Every moment reflects JVNs personality.

If you haven't seen Queer Eye or don't follow JVN in social media, you might be surprised by their extremely extroverted and glittery personality.

Each episode is about a different subject matter, what actually surprised me is that, instead of just criticizing the industry, they first show why people love snacks or skyscrapers before showing the side effects. The show it's telling "I get you, understand you and don't judge you, but please consider these factors".

The first episode felt like Zaboomafoo after a fabulous makeover teaching 2nd graders about bugs. JVN is amazing and I love his curiosity and just general excitedness about everything. It's refreshing and sweet and made me feel good.

However, I felt like I was watching a PBS special for kids.

YES. It was informative if you have never touched a zoobooks or know what the discovery channel or Planet Earth is.. But I was disappointed. It was a little 'cringeworthy'. I couldn't get through the last 1/4 of the episode because I felt like I was watching an elementary school field trip unfold.

I'll try again, but I can't promise I'll get through more then 2 episodes. Pass for me... might be your thing.

This entire series has the exact same tone as when Katy Perry interviewed Neil deGrasse Tyson about science. A cringe fest for adults but might be fun for young kids.
