I think that this show is one of the greatest informational shows that is on the air right now. They deliver a lot of fascinating information in a very humorous way. Watching these episodes has already changed my view of some of our customs and ways. Adam Conover is fantastic in this series. How he can be hilarious, smart and sometimes sad is what makes this show watchable. it really is a shame that this show isn't more popular, but I hope that it gains more of an audience. Or as the new york times said "Adam Conover's new television series isn't the first dedicated to the fine art of debunking, but it's one of the most entertaining."
Majority of negative reviews are from people who don't like facts that go against what they wanna believe. The truth is if these people truly cared about facts, all they would care about is they're facts. They wouldn't care if they came from a liberal or conservative source. Adam has admitted he has made mistakes but at least he lists sources. I've seen people who will send links to articles that either pre-date the new studies or they're from sources that don't list where they get their facts from. I'll take Adam's newer sources over sources that have no facts or are older than the newer sources.
Informative and entertaining, the production staff relies heavily on research and corrects mistakes when they occur. Overall great show.
Those who complain on here that the facts presented on 'Adam Ruins Everything' are somehow biased in order to serve someone's narrow 'worldview' are themselves falling victim to the fallacy that any statement (even when backed up with credible sources) they see as running 'opposite' or 'counter' to their own opinions or perceptions must therefore be suggestive of a nefarious scheme to push some sort of agenda.
I've come to notice that the several posters who bothered to complain about the show's content seem to have internalized, as if it were a piece of their own personal identity, some of the wrongly-held misinformation that Adam Conover & his writing team are seeking to correct.
One genius basically told me in so many words that my reliance on historically credible facts, be they good or ugly, were 'biased' serving to support my proudly held leftist principles; and that though his points, while ahistorical, or just plain false, but which nonetheless influenced his 'conservative right-wing' worldview, were just as valid. As if facts had their own agendas...
While it's true I've always (somewhat cheekily) suspected reality to have a certain leftist bias, to see rightists argue themselves into logical dead-ends over and over again, while funny in a way, is still alarming.
This just goes to further proves the importance of shows like Adam Ruins Everything.

There are so many cons, misconceptions, and deceitful propaganda that hundreds of millions of people just accept as correct and truth.
This show is by far the greatest exploiter of these falsehoods. It simplifies the deception into ways which anyone can understand.
Many of these subjects are painfully HUGE problems with society that have become commonly accepted.
It's like a reworked version of Mythbusters, but instead of urban, cinematic, and legendary myths this show exposes major falsehoods of everyday life in which majority of humans don't even think to question.
Bottom line: Brilliant, incredibly informative, funny, and the only good show TruTV has ever broadcast.
