Adam Conover: Política se Discute?

First of all, I loved "Adam Ruins Everything", and I am writing this having watched the first series and having listened the Factually episode related to this show.

Is it bold? Yes.

Is it bold enough? No.

Is it bolder than I expected or than "Adam Ruins Everything"? No.

However, I watched and enjoyed it.

The editing was slower, but it is a common issue after pandemic, and I do not know why.

I have written my takes on the episodes that I so deemed.

For the future, though, Mr. Conover, you may want to look into: (1) US foreign policy; (2) US international policy; (3) How US does not recognize the Human Rights Courts in Hague; (4) and how Paris Agreement is meaningless.

I've missed Adam Ruins Everything since it was pulled off the air, so I was excited to see this show! In my opinion, this show takes Adam Ruins Everything and improves upon it. We get great behind the scenes looks at a number of government industries, valuable expert insight. The humor can be juvenile at times, but it adds some needed levity to heavy topics.

Despite what people are commenting, I think this show does a good job balancing political stances. Although there are obvious, and necessary, criticisms made about Reagan and his choice to gut social programs; the show also criticizes Bill Clinton, as well as producer, and (guest star), Barack Obama for his history of using drones in attacks and cutting social programs.

From my viewpoint, this show is fair and offers valid critique. It may be off-putting to the Capitol storming crowd, but as a moderate, I thought it was well informed, fair and valid in its criticism. (I heard about it from some conservative friends who also loved Adam Ruins Everything, so take those 1 star "it's too political" reviews with a grain of salt).

The show should be taken in the spirit it is presented- an attempt to reestablish a sense of civics and duty in common good (of a nation).

It presents an inside view of both the good and the bad - the episodes on money and future I found particularly striking for their day-to-day unheralded and unremarked impacts

The fundamental conclusion is that government isn't good nor bad, it is simply a necessary function of any organized society (nation). It is capable of both great good and great evil, only because it's great in scope. Our engagement or lack thereof will dictate what it does. It's a good message to internalize.

It's a slightly flawed, slightly shallow, but ultimately accessible insight into an important topic. Some reviewers seem to have not understood the core concept that government is inseperable from politics because government is the exercise of politics - its people and power. Inseparable.

The sad reality is that the people that seem to need this the most are the same people least equipped to receive it.

I think mainly what's missing (compared to ARE) is the dynamic of the fast-talking smartass know-it-all vs. The average dumb-dumbs getting all those hard-truth bandaids ripped off. Adam is a lot more humble in this show, less know-it-all, and waaaaay more "glass half full" Polyannaish (specifically towards our government - but when Obama is the producer, I guess I can't expect Adam to go full anarchist anyway, but this show has no teeth, no claws... I wish Bernie had produced it!)

Seriously, though, read the room, Adam. (That's right, I'm pretending Adam is reading this.) Now was not the time for a "give the government a chance, they're not that bad" show. We wanted you to turn our world upside in tiny ways, not attempt to restore our faith in the US government. That's not gonna happen right now. You and your people are smart enough, ya'll could have figured out how to inspire your demographic to take an active role in US government without fellating Uncle Sam right in front of us. And what's with that mother-reading-to-her-infant tone you take whenever you say something even remotely critical of our government? Ew, Adam!

It's always interesting to see how many issues we are dealing with didn't come form a long natural history of man. It was like 3 dudes in the 70s and 80s who pretty much ruined it for everyone.

It's like a 7/10 but I gave it a 10 to offset to bootlicking in the reviews. Ronald Wilson Reagan was the the devil. 666.
