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.

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.

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.

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.
