100 Humans

I was excited about watching this show because I enjoyed Alie Ward's Ologies podcast (and she is in the show). I am a scientist, and I am horrified to see unjustified conclusions the show is drawing from their poorly designed experiments. I really want to give it a chance but I don't think I will be able to watch it. I hope people do not think this is how science works after watching this show.

Just watched Netflix's "100 Humans." It's interesting, but I don't think it's interesting in how the producers of the show intended it to be. Some of the experiments used such poorly thought out techniques that it was cringe-worthy. For example, as is common with such shows, the experiments in their "battle of the sexes" episode were so biased and pandering that I'd actually be insulted if I were a woman. Other experiments throughout the entire show had gigantic holes in them.

So, the show was interesting not because of any scientific information it provided, but because it illustrated that "scientific information" can be pulled and pushed into whatever form the presenter wishes the audience to see.

Well Netflix picks up another pseudoscience show. It's atleast better the goop or whatever that was I only watched two episodes of goop. I did give this 4 episodes.

I don't know why I expected more of this. For the most part unscientific and part of the problem why people discredit science. Still couldn't look away though. So an entertaining watch none the less.

Then as each episode and experiment went by, the bias and fake science that was held up as real science just pushed me over the edge. I hope to God that people who watch this show think for themselves and can see how bad it is. It's almost dangerous. Seriously.
