Be entertained while being educated!

This is great entertainment and it is informative.

This isn't as serious as a Noam Chomsky lecture. The show might not leave you feeling angry at the system. You can enjoy it from any point on the political spectrum. You can sit down and watch it with older children, spouses, and friends, to find common denominators for conversations.

The show really is very entertaining and informative. I hope there is second season.

Try it out.

A mix of humor and knowledge of the world economy.

I found it very interesting. The series was directed by Adam McKay (The Big Short). The series gave the accence of The big Short like many guest actors were on the episodes and explaining some concepts of economics, but Its not very difficult to understand the docu series. The series says how people do things like corruption, money laundering and others. I loved the show to the fullest. It will shock you and amaze you.

Fun and Profound: best since Anthony Bourdain

Kal Penn goes where Bourdain went with his own hunor spin. Bourdain did global culture and food. Penn does global factoids and humor.

Great combination and wonderfully balanced. He will take it to the extreme to get your attention and make a point: when talking about the funeral business he humorously shocks you with an interview with an (undercover) hit man; and, when talking about money he starts with people who dropped off the grid to live without it.

I hope this cotinues and goes bigger still, as did Bourdain.

Super Entertaining

It's a loose, fun mix of comedy, truth, and inaccuracies.

Anything about economics to help the general public and politicians, is probably a good thing, which I think this is.

It does have some great, true information that most Americans will have no clue about. Unfortunately, most Americans will just think it's all true. It does still have the rich-actor, Hollywood ignorance, and somehow, every episode has something in LA or San Francisco. Shocker, right?

I liked it, even though it's an opinion piece posing as fun science . . . Think of "My Sex Junk is so Oh Oh Oh."🙄

Love it, just wish each episode had more of a wrap-up at the end.

I thought the show did a good job of distilling complex topics into easily digestible (and entertaining) bites. However, each episode left me wanting for more of a wrap up. They'd spend 45-50 minutes going over the intricacies of something like counterfeiting, and then try to wrap it up in the last three minutes.

Great concept, just needs more summary at the end.
