It's okay at best. I was drawn to the show by nostalgia for the days of watching Bill explain things as a kid. I am not sure what I expected, but I expected something a little more scientific and less political, I agree with Bill on most things so that's not really a complaint. But outside of his political commentary the show really doesn't have much to stand on outside of nostalgia. It's tacky, odd, and goofy. A personality that works for a children's program explaining things, not so much for a political satire interspersed with basic science.

I feel like I could watch the old episodes of Bill Nye, the ones geared directly to children and glean the same amount of "Scientific" knowledge from it. I think Bill is a stand up guy, and a great debater and a voice more people should be willing to hear. But he should leave the political commentary to John Oliver, Sam Bee, Trever Noah....etc

There is little to no science in this show. It's almost entirely propaganda. If you enjoyed Bill Nye The Science Guy stay away from this show. If you are expecting science there is none to find here, just humorless comedy and painfully obvious propaganda. They push political and social issues and try to put a scientific spin on them. There is no substantial educational benefit from this show. They are simply trying to sway political and social views.

I use to love Bill Nye as a child, he made science fun and worth learning. But this new show is terrible. Its promoting all sorts of non-science as science and is highly politicized and polarizing. A show about science should be about, well it should be about science. This show does not do that, this show is one part politics and one part failed musical.

I am so very disappointed with this sad excuse of a television program. Bill Nye was one of my idols growing up, and I remember watching "The Science Guy" every day I would come home from school. Fascinated by the way Bill used to captivate the minds of myself and my friends/classmates, I knew, without a doubt, "Saves the world" would be a genius new installment. I was horribly wrong. There is absolutely no science or even reason behind any of the discussions in the show. Bill Nye is dead to me, and I feel we've lost a true pioneer in the field of science.

Warning! Recently there have been hundreds of fake and detrimental reviews of this show, you can check for yourself and see that most of the people leaving these reviews have only posted this one 1* review, and no other reviews at all.

There was a twitter campaign to slate this show after it spoke out against the current US Presidential view that Global Warming was all just a lie, and not actually a real thing.

So I'd say watch it for yourselves and form your own opinions, also to all of you people who have rated this 1* you are not actually supporting IMDB or the community here by doing this, and you are no better than bullies or other Internet trolls. Grow up.

This show is getting bad ratings for the WRONG reasons, generally. It's a show about FACT versus FICTION. Does A cause B? Let's see. You want to know why this show is necessary? Because people are too uninformed. They are either gullible, or stubborn, or think they know more than (insert name). Maybe they don't "trust" science. Maybe that's because they don't "understand" science. This show attempts to fix that problem... and hence... save the world. Look at Polio... do you really want that to spread because you were too lazy/ignorant/stubborn/suspicious, to get a vaccine??

You don't have to believe in vaccines... doesn't change the FACT that they work... and the FACT that they don't cause autism. If you fail to vaccinate, you put everyone else at risk.

You can believe in "sound therapy", but that does NOT mean that some imbecile screaming at your belly is going to offer any kind of medical benefit.

You can believe in "alternative medicine", but that does NOT mean it works! None of it does. That's why it's called alternative. It's hocus pocus dreamland foolishness and nothing more than a way for people to profit off of people who are too uninformed to know they're being ripped off.

This show explains things to adults like they're children. That's a valid criticism. I cringe a lot watching it, but I'm rating it an 8/10 because it does a good job demonstrating FACT versus FICTION. The humor is dreadful (sorry Bill), but the information is incredibly valuable.

Wanting to convey THE TRUTH, doesn't make this "political", or "propaganda". Okay, so he only has a degree in Mechanical Engineering, so he's not worthy of being a scientist, right? WRONG. Want a definition of what that is?

"Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies engineering, physics, and materials science principles to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines." - Wikipedia.

With that in mind, I hear people complain that he isn't a scientist, so what right does he have to tell us anything... this coming from people who often have no post secondary education, and whose education often times is, with all due respect, limited to flipping burgers and pouring coffee (I've been one of those people too, in years past). And for those who do have a degree, say in English (like myself), or Political Science, or History, or any number of others... what makes YOU more qualified to judge HIM?

The show is over the top ridiculous. I cringe regularly. BUT, I enjoy the information it provides. At least he is TRYING to make the world a better place, by spreading truth. What are you doing with your life, reader? What are YOU contributing to bettering the world? Before you judge, please think more critically before making such harsh accusations and assumptions.

First off, I have created an account just to be able to leave a review as I was astounded to see so many 1 star reviews! What's up with you all? It's SO funny and informative. It's not pretending to be a serious boring documentary or lecture! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope Netflix do more series.

I've come to believe that this is the worst production of anything that I have ever seen. Bill Nye has lost all his credibility with this attempt at wit. It's absolutely HORRIBLE. Unwatchable. He'd better start working on saving his reputation. The musical performances were equally as bad. It was tough to tell if they were trying to be humorous. They failed.

No i DON'T think this show is a ten. I rated it ten because I don't understand all the 1's. Sure the show isn't going full Marie Currie on the science aspect, but it is entertaining. As far as the whole political agenda goes, I don't think these people watched more than one episode. I don't understand how global warming became a political issue ANYWAYS! Thanks Donald. Global warming is a REAL issue and it deserves to be addressed. It's more of a worldwide social issue. That said I'd REALLY give the show a 6. It's OK.

It was 4am, I was in tremendous amounts of pain due to nerve damage in my back and neck thanks to a car crash, with no one online to speak to moan about my life I came off YouTube with the last video I watched about Bill Nye and this show and I started looking at Netflix sizing up the episode list. The show isn't as bad as some of the 'American reviews' made it out to be, sure there is some political propaganda, but if you class this as false or incoherent information, I'm sorry bud, you're a conspiracy theorist, climate change is real and there are more than two genders in circumstances. My only qualm about this show was the inaccuracy that it presented in the movement of fist-bumps, it probably had around a 70% hit rate in terms of this. So if you're going to moan about this show, moan about it trying too hard with it's theme song, fist-bumps and creepy animations.

If you're a flat Earther then this show isn't for you, try a show like Most Haunted UK.

I thought this was supposed to be Bill Nye for adults. He brings in some serious experts to discuss the subjects of the shows, then gives the experts maybe 5 or 6 minutes. I understand his opening explanations of what he is trying to convey, but the silly skits belittle the legitimacy of the message. If he really wants to appeal to adults, he needs to tone down the silliness. Otherwise, he needs to market this series as a program for children, with a caution as to subject matter. Please, Bill, give more time to the panel of experts and less time to the dancing eggplant.

What is going on with all these negative reviews?! I get people having differing opinions, but so many of the reviews seem to have been written by people who didn't even watch the show! If you enjoy learning science from a diverse and balanced group of guests and you genuinely care about our environment, planet and the human race, give this show an actual chance (as in WATCH it) and then give an actual review.

What better way to turn people away from the scientific method than to inject it with elite Hollywood propaganda. This show accomplishes the exact opposite of what it set out to do.

I do wonder how much of a role Bill had in picking the topics and how he was able to discuss them. I hope for his sake he was strong-armed into the end result.

I mean seriously? This is just garbage. I can't believe this got made. Bill Nye is literally a science denier. It's a travesty having him "promote" science. His "alternative facts" do more harm than good. And he's not even a scientist. He's a mechanical engineer who quit to become a stand-up.

This update of Bill Nye is thoughtful and relevant to adults. My husband is a scientist and grew up watching Bill Nye's show, and can back up that he has seen & read work by some of the featured scientists. Despite what one of the previous "non-science" review, this show IS grounded in research and science. His panels are balanced with actual research scientists who present briefs of their work. Just because Bill may not share the same views as all his watchers, you will learn about topics of Sexuality, Medical Marijuana, Extinction, or Gaming. Not all of the bits are quite as entertaining or well written, but they do a very good job (sometimes they try hard to be funny and miss a bit).

About the actual show: The show is for adults, and it covers controversial themes. It can seem political at times, but only because we've decided (as a society) to politicize science. I'll admit that the show is a little clunky at times, but it is effective at summarizing the touchy science topics of our time.

About the large amounts of 1 start reviews: Take a look at the user profiles for the other reviews, particularly all the 1-star reviews. They look like user accounts that were set up to write that single review or to trash any perceived left-leaning show. Whether written by bots or by people who really hate diversity, it's hard to say. Either way, give the show a chance and you may enjoy it.

This show is giving value to right wingers and devaluing BILL NYE HIMSELF.

I had respect for Bill before this but now it's all but gone.

This is NOT science, this is not FACT. As far as I can tell the only true statements that are being stated are regarding global warming, and because this real science is seen with non-science it is devalued and more easily dismissed.

Thanks for that Bill!

Wow, I can't believe how low people are willing to stoop to push their own "political garbage." The 1 star reviews on this show are so obviously just a political smear campaign. How many of them cite "propaganda", and blah, blah, blah as the basis of their review? Just read them for yourselves. Now for the (actual) review:

Bill Nye is Back!!

I remember the old Bill Nye: The Science Guy from when I was in elementary school, like 20 years ago. If I were in school today, I'd *love* to watch this! It's funny, engaging, educational, and scientific. If I were a kid in school I'd LOVE this as much as the original show! Bill talks about new topics like Artificial Intelligence, that didn't exist when the original show aired!

Bill Nye grabs your attention! This isn't a boring college lecture of some guy standing in front of a whiteboard. (Trust me, I watch those too.) There are lab demonstrations, interesting topics, celebrity guests, jokes, and science! It's everything you could ever ask from a science show!

I'm an almost 30 year old guy, who's intimately familiar with most these topics already. Even I was learning a lot of new information, and it was entertaining. He doesn't just tell you facts, he *shows you*!!

It's also got Derek from Veritasium! I have been subscribed to his YouTube channels for years! I've been seriously considering going into "edu-tainmant" because of Bill Nye (The Science Guy), Derek (Veritasium), Destin (SmarterEveryDay), Michael (VSauce), everyone from Periodic Videos/Computerphile, and a lot of others I have't listed. (In fact, the (politically-motivated/B.S.) reviews just reassure me that we NEED educators now, more than ever!!)

As far as improving the show goes: 1. There were a couple topics that were mentioned during the discussions that had piqued my interest, but I think were glanced over too quickly at the expert panel table. I understand this may have been intentional, to keep the discussion on-topic, but the "tangents" did pique my interest enough to look up on my own afterwards! 2. (This is where'd I'd put a second point if I had one.)

If the producers/execs are reading this, please don't let the political B.S. hurt a good show! The show is perfect, as is!

I can not believe that this show is currently standing at a 3.6 star rating. That is the same rating as the movie "The Room", one of the worst films ever made. I've read some of the other reviews for this show and they all seem to fall into at least one of three categories: A) They did not realize this show was meant for a TV-14 audience B) They thought this show would be a modern rehashing of The Science Guy or C) They are conservatives who can't stand the idea of their personal beliefs being threatened by science. This show is much more a talk show than it is a purely educational program. In addition to science experiments, there are field correspondents, panel interviews, and comedy sketches. All with the goal of discussing what science has to say about topics relevant to us today. Ranging from climate change, to vaccines, to human sexuality, the show tackles its topics with a sense of humor and a viewpoint that scientific fact is not up for debate based on one's political or religious viewpoint. I will grant, this show is far from perfect. Some of the jokes fall flat and the panel discussions often feel awkward when Bill attempts to inject humor into serious discussions. And when a representative from Monsanto joins a panel to discuss GMOs, the organizations less than stellar history and business practices are all but glossed over completely. Still, this show in no way deserves the hate it has received. Maybe the 1 star reviewers need to be more like this show, and grow up.
