Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Arrogant. Presenting eternally debated issues as objectively simple and one sided, and if you land on any other perspective than his, you're a bad person. This is propaganda for hipsters. This is the new way agendas are presented, thru comedy, where our guard is down the most. As an investigative journalist myself I care only about objectivity, I have no political leaning when I write and research and do my best to avoid the bias of human nature, and this show is shameful in that context. I also pride myself on responding to critique with an open mind and not attaching personal feelings when I'm called out and lashing out at people who stand in the way of what i want to be true with ruminations concerning what actually is true objectively(this will make sense in a moment). The amount of things Adam skips over, presents out of context, or just straight up doesn't address to get his point across is nothing short of disgraceful. Why?!?! What could the purpose of this show possibly be beyond attempting to reshape issues current or otherwise, for a generation of people who have never really lived without a screen to dive into and use to construct a reality that is better than actual reality any time a hint of discomfort pops up. This is terrifying. There is literally no reason for a show like this to exist beyond arrogantly stating things his Freemason, or whoever really runs things, overlords tell him. Go ahead and give me a "not helpful" Bc I made people face the fact that we've collectively lost the ability to critically think and need a nasally voiced, annoying, intentionally sexually ambiguous, and unintimdating puppet to shape your world view. I could show u pages upon pages of research by really rich people all the way back to the 40s and 50s; that's gone into what personality is best to present information like this, hence allowing it to sink in most efficiently. I would have no problem if he didn't act like he solved the worlds greatest problems in 21 mins every week. We're all entitled to our opinion, for sure, but when it's presented as fact and any other perspective is condescended to the whole time. That's not an opinion, that's Pure wrong. I don't care about the disclaimer at the beginning, and neither does our human natured collective subconscious. I don't care which way a show like this leans socially or politically, i care that it leans at all. Please don't get that twisted. It's the leaning itself like he on that purple drank that bothers me. It's disingenuous and it's far deeper than some guy spewing nonsense. It's a weapon. Not quite the same but kinda similar, check out Nathan For You. Much much better docudramedy, not even close.

My daughter suggested I give "Adam Ruins Everything" because I am already a huge fan of "Penn & Teller: Bullsh@t"...as both shows have many similarities. Both set out to contradict commonly held assumptions and both are well made and entertaining. The only big differences I see are that "Adam Ruins Everything" has no gratuitous nudity, is more liberal in political bent and is a bit more hip. Both will challenge your assumptions and will definitely make you think. Plus, even when I am not in complete agreement with what the show asserts, you can't help but like the host, Adam Conover, and his on-screen friends.UPDATE: While I still enjoy the show quite a bit, I have noticed that sometimes the show uses opinion and makes it sound like fact. This is not generally the case, but for example, the show about the evils of cars is based on the assumption that European-style transportation systems are superior to those in the States AND that subways and buses and trains would work the same here in the States. That is debatable...especially since many transportation alternatives in the States (such as the subway in LA and AMTRAK) are huge money-losers.

I love watching this show. However, to add a little something something...I would take random areas of the national then select a few people and find out what their answers will be for the episode subject. Kind of give an insight to the knowledge base of reality vs media hype.Some of the ideas and truths I grew up on and I am not young no more. But the media has given slighted truths that the young absorb as fact. Kind of shows the vanity in which America is founded on. Life is not that big screen of information, life is living it.Be well and Safe The "Z"

I enjoyed the first few episodes of this show but there was something about it I couldn't quite put my finger on. After watching a few more episodes, it became clear that this show is biased to the left. Some episodes are more blatant than others such as the voting or the prison ones. Not to say the show isn't informational; It is, but I just wish they would present points on both sides to the topics they discuss. Rather, things are glossed over when they can easily become counter-arguments. The presenter, Adam Conover, is entertaining and does a great job keeping the show on a steady pace. And, if you look at the top corner of the screen whenever he talks, there's usually a credible source listed. Give it a watch, you might like it.
