A Era dos Dados

I've been following Latif in the podcast Radiolab, so I am already used to his style. It was nice no see something that was not only audio but also visual. If you are expecting an typical documentary, skip it. This is going to feel more like a "video podcast".

To all the people who wrote reviews saying "I couldn't get through the first episode". Stop reviewing things. You owe any show more than 1 episode to develop. That being said far too many people judged Latif without getting to know his style. His enthusiasm is real and by the third episode I was nerding out.

Interesting and really high quality documentary. But I had to agree. The host is so terrible and annoying that it is really hard to watch!

I like Latif Nasser a lot. I think he is going for a Bill Nye type persona but can understand some of the other reviews here.

As for the concept and execution of the show it was really great! The episode on Dust was fascinating

I'm 43.

The host is a bit like a young Bill Nye, meaning his enthusiasm seems kind of fake/rehearsed. Obviously the show is heavily scripted though, so a fair amount of acting is required of him. That being said, he does a good job of presenting the information in a way that would appeal to inquisitive tweens and teens, and still manages to be engaging and entertaining for adults.

I learned a great deal from season 1, and I genuinely enjoyed it as a source of engaging entertainment. If you're a teacher, have kids, or are an inquisitive adult, check this show out.
