It is a fun show to watch, very entertaining, but the title IMHO is incorrect. The show should be called 'The United States According the Jeff Goldblum'. The episodes, are all centered around what the topic implicates in the US and not worldwide. E.g. when I think of coffee, the first thing that comes to mind, is Italian, French or Austrian coffee culture, but not coffee made by cowboys. Don't get me wrong, as stated above I found all episodes amusing but the title just does not seem right.
I've always loved Jeff Goldblum's quirky sense of humor and he does a great job on this show. It might sound like just another show about random stuff but the way he hosts it and talks to people is really well done. I found myself actually interested in sneakers (which I'm not, normally) and I especially enjoyed the tattoo episode.Jeff is just so charming and he makes anything seem interesting. He also engaged with people; he was playing basketball in the sneaker episode, rowing an outrigger in Hawaii and actually doing part of a tattoo in the tattoo episode. His enthusiasm is contagious, and makes it all more interesting. I'm looking forward to future episodes.
I have always loved Jeff Goldblum's humor. He is very eccentric and definitely zany. He introduces events behind trivial topics such as shoes and ice cream that are truly fascinating. Each topic that he discusses he tends to also participate in physically. It makes more sense when you watch the show. Another thing that he does quite frequently is he relates experiences to his childhood.
The show is great, but is far too zany and eccentric. Goldblum is very comedic, but it sometimes can be far too much to handle. I know that he is the main aspect of the show, but you will understand what I mean as a viewer.
The show is very good because it is very relaxed and it is fun. If you like Jeff Goldbum, then you are in for a treat!

Well to be fair Jeff Goldblum turns out to be a real entertaining host but at times, beneath all that you can see the content is thin.
I love shows of this genre. Shows that deliver knowledge and different perspectives about things. But unlike others like Adam Ruins Everything, focus is more on Jeff's shenanigans rather the actual content of the topic an episode is about.
I just wish from next season onwards they dive deeper into history lessons and facts....
A solid 7 it is!

This show isn't bad, it's just very average.
As a Jeff Goldblum fan I expected a clever, deep and quirky look at topics, instead I got a quirky look into topics with a bit of added quirkiness.
This is not a deep dive, focussing primarily on closeups of Jeff Goldblum touching his and other people's faces. The producers don't want anything to distract from his strangeness and as a result, even that strangeness comes across as forced and contrived.
It's not that the show is unwatchable, it's just so superficial it is hard to really recommend it. Watch one episode and you've watched them all.

- TriviaIn an interview, Goldblum was asked what he thinks the lesson of the show is. His reply: "you have to keep learning. The reason time seems to go so slowly when you're young is because of a strange makeup of our brains whereby if we're learning a lot every day, it slows time down. Whereas if you're going through the motions or you're learning less, time speeds up on you. So be present, be spontaneous. Enjoy the moment, enjoy yourself, and learn."
