Bill Nye Saves the World (2017–2018)
6/10
Haters gonna hate
4 May 2017
I can not believe that this show is currently standing at a 3.6 star rating. That is the same rating as the movie "The Room", one of the worst films ever made. I've read some of the other reviews for this show and they all seem to fall into at least one of three categories: A) They did not realize this show was meant for a TV-14 audience B) They thought this show would be a modern rehashing of The Science Guy or C) They are conservatives who can't stand the idea of their personal beliefs being threatened by science. This show is much more a talk show than it is a purely educational program. In addition to science experiments, there are field correspondents, panel interviews, and comedy sketches. All with the goal of discussing what science has to say about topics relevant to us today. Ranging from climate change, to vaccines, to human sexuality, the show tackles its topics with a sense of humor and a viewpoint that scientific fact is not up for debate based on one's political or religious viewpoint. I will grant, this show is far from perfect. Some of the jokes fall flat and the panel discussions often feel awkward when Bill attempts to inject humor into serious discussions. And when a representative from Monsanto joins a panel to discuss GMOs, the organizations less than stellar history and business practices are all but glossed over completely. Still, this show in no way deserves the hate it has received. Maybe the 1 star reviewers need to be more like this show, and grow up.
