Hugely enjoyable streaming series where host Adam Conover debunks popular myths and misconceptions.
The sketch comedy framing elements can occasionally miss, but are mostly funny, and well acted by a cast of regulars and Conover's put-on boyish excitement is pretty amusing and effective. Most importantly, I actually learned a bunch of useful and/or fascinating stuff I didn't know, and had a lot of fun doing it.
Sort of the hipper, funnier version of 'Mythbusters' (although this tackles politics, laws, health, morality etc., not just science, engineering and physics) or a comic, live version of 'Snopes'.
Personally I wish there was a DVD 'best of collection'. But that's cause I'm an old guy who still likes physical media.
