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.

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.

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.

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."🙄
