    The host seems a bit annoying in the first 1-2 episodes, but he quickly grows on you, and the show is surprisingly interesting and engaging.

    I'm 43.

    The host is a bit like a young Bill Nye, meaning his enthusiasm seems kind of fake/rehearsed. Obviously the show is heavily scripted though, so a fair amount of acting is required of him. That being said, he does a good job of presenting the information in a way that would appeal to inquisitive tweens and teens, and still manages to be engaging and entertaining for adults.

    I learned a great deal from season 1, and I genuinely enjoyed it as a source of engaging entertainment. If you're a teacher, have kids, or are an inquisitive adult, check this show out.

    Not as bad as the reviews are saying

    I've been following Latif in the podcast Radiolab, so I am already used to his style. It was nice no see something that was not only audio but also visual. If you are expecting an typical documentary, skip it. This is going to feel more like a "video podcast".

    Interesting topics, but I agree with some reviewers about the infantile host

    Nevertheless I watched all episodes. Great topics, some things you might already have heard of, some not so much.

    Sometimes there was very important information missing. Like in the episode about clouds. It's crucial to know about the downside of using chemicals to make artificial rain since over more then 50 years! This effects the nature of course in a bad way! Would have been nice, if he could provide more information from all sides.

    But instead Latif Nasser's only comment on this was something like: "Wow, can you imagine, we can make the clouds rain!" ... That's about the way he ends every conversation with his interview partners. His voice not only sounds annoying to me, but the way he talks makes this show seem to be made for under 8 year old kids. With his over and over repeating phrases like ...Oh, wow, can you believe this?!... Oh, wow... really?! ... He comes across like an idiot, totally unnatural and exaggerated. I have nothing against goofy or wacky, like some reviewers call his way, but if you go for it, there needs to be a bit of good humor too.

    That's just not the right way to talk to adults and teenagers.

    My conclusion: Latif Nasser would rather fit in a children's show, even then the target group should not be older than eight years. With more depth to the topics and an adult host, let him/her be serious or a comedian, I don't care, this show could become more popular. Everything else was really good, the topics, the camera, the editing, the interview guests...

    Netflix, it would be worth a try and change the host, please!

    Very interested

    I like Latif Nasser a lot. I think he is going for a Bill Nye type persona but can understand some of the other reviews here.

    As for the concept and execution of the show it was really great! The episode on Dust was fascinating

    Must watch.

    Outstanding and very informative. Don't shoot the messenger; some of my best teachers were whacky.
