Brain Games

This programme clarifies how our brains, as well as other features of our body, work and react in different ways. It also shows it in an interesting and comedic way, so it's fun to learn. The preeminent topics the show tells us about are stress, addiction, competition, food, trust and language. Brain games has good humour and is a comedy-based programme.

The humour in this programme is mainly childish. The host of the show for seasons 2-7 is a man called John Silva. The preceding presenter for season 1 was Neil Patrick Harris. The viewers of the show can learn the advantages of the real world and real experiences. This specifies how to revamp your memory, get a prominent night sleep and make more money.

The programme is an Emmy-nominated series as well, which by watching the programme you can see why. The main genres in this programme are Family and Comedy. On the comedy sides of things they had done it perfectly as it was hilarious for the whole 30 minutes. There were only some elements of the show which were not funny, but they were the more enlightening parts. The debut of this show was in 2011 on the National Geographic channel.

The programme is available on Netflix, Youtube and from the Google Play store. To view this on Youtube it would cost £1.99 which also applies to buying and then watching it from the Google Play store. This show met my expectations as I had found programmes like these interesting and putting it into a series really made me watch it. I would immensely recommend watching this programme to other people as it's comedic and you can learn a lot from watching it.

The show is pretty good and educational for most of its run. Sometimes the games were dumb but most of them were good. The show did get a little repititive but I enjoyed the first seven seasons. The show changes alot from seasons 1-7 but I still like all of those seasons. The show can teach you a lot of cool things In season eight they made it more of a game show with celebrities every episode and a magician whose tricks were obviously fake like guessing which random person in the crowd had a hat, which is statistically impossible but he guessed it because they faked it. Would recommended just skip season eight.

The first set of shows with host Silva are vastly superior to those with later host Key. The tone is more cerebral in the earlier shows, whereas the later ones are done with more of a game show attitude with shrieking audiences, etc. Interesting stories about the brain and perception.

If seen free of skepticism and with an open eye; the possibilities from what you could learn... are endless.

I did liked this show a lot. I felt there was something special about it. The brain games themselves were fun and if you watched the show a lot, you start to become good or progress as a viewer and this show works really well for education or psychology. Even kids who just want to watch and our curious of these games can still find some enjoyment and might learn a lot from being underdeveloped. However, as the show went on. It kinda hurts to say, but it does feel a little stale and boring at times as the show goes on. Also people complained about the new season. I haven't seen it yet, but I seen clips and the show has change a lot where it feels way too different from before. I'm sure some people like this season, but for me I'm not sure I will. I hoped to be suprised by it. The show has a lot of repeated games or moments that feels like I'm watching some of the same subjects and feels a waste of time when you see longer episodes. I also miss Apollo Robbins, but the new illusionist is good also. One thing that hurts the show is the fact it's rated G. The G rating can work on some episodes, but as a whole show, I wouldn't show kids this only of it's a G rated episodes. Sometimes this show can get a too bit werid or uncomfortably off topic and dark. Some kids can see mature or unfriendly content that shouldn't really be there unless it's to help the narrative. Also these jokes can be sexual or inappropriate for no reason other than be funny or relevant. Which isn't called for at all. Overall, I would give this show a 10/10 if some repetitive stuff and stupid jokes or dialogue would be taken away and makes this show more for everyone like they do in some episodes and I think this show will be one of the best docuseries of all time for kids, teens, adults, and educational services.
