A enjoyable informative documentary

The issues selected are well explored by Kal. I just finished watching the AI episode and it really got me thinking about the preparation I need to do about the future businesses and careers. I surely recommend watching this.

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.

Complexity simplified

2 Episodes in I must say I like it.

Take complex issues and simplify them by sticking to broad strokes, things people can follow without it getting technical.

Or, explain how a rich person came to be in a funny way.

The diversity of the first episodes was interesting, the presentation also not bad.

All in all, not something to look forward to, but an occasional episode of 'something else', something light.

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.

Entertaining and Informative....

It reduces a complex subject, through humor and presentation, into easily digestible bits that both inform and entertain.

I find it equally amusing that the only two critics of this series, capnpete-91469 and brian-06942, are fly-by-night accounts - both created recently (right around when the program first aired) and both with only a single reviewed program (this one), and that's it. Make of it what you want ;-)

Sounds to me like Kal Penn is hitting some nerves. Very entertaining.

I look forward to more of this.
