Adam Ruins Everything Audience Reviews

SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
sclafunk Arrogant. Presenting eternally debated issues as objectively simple and one sided, and if you land on any other perspective than his, you're a bad person. This is propaganda for hipsters. This is the new way agendas are presented, thru comedy, where our guard is down the most. As an investigative journalist myself I care only about objectivity, I have no political leaning when I write and research and do my best to avoid the bias of human nature, and this show is shameful in that context. I also pride myself on responding to critique with an open mind and not attaching personal feelings when I'm called out and lashing out at people who stand in the way of what i want to be true with ruminations concerning what actually is true objectively(this will make sense in a moment). The amount of things Adam skips over, presents out of context, or just straight up doesn't address to get his point across is nothing short of disgraceful. Why?!?! What could the purpose of this show possibly be beyond attempting to reshape issues current or otherwise, for a generation of people who have never really lived without a screen to dive into and use to construct a reality that is better than actual reality any time a hint of discomfort pops up. This is terrifying. There is literally no reason for a show like this to exist beyond arrogantly stating things his Freemason, or whoever really runs things, overlords tell him. Go ahead and give me a "not helpful" Bc I made people face the fact that we've collectively lost the ability to critically think and need a nasally voiced, annoying, intentionally sexually ambiguous, and unintimdating puppet to shape your world view. I could show u pages upon pages of research by really rich people all the way back to the 40s and 50s; that's gone into what personality is best to present information like this, hence allowing it to sink in most efficiently. I would have no problem if he didn't act like he solved the worlds greatest problems in 21 mins every week. We're all entitled to our opinion, for sure, but when it's presented as fact and any other perspective is condescended to the whole time. That's not an opinion, that's Pure wrong. I don't care about the disclaimer at the beginning, and neither does our human natured collective subconscious. I don't care which way a show like this leans socially or politically, i care that it leans at all. Please don't get that twisted. It's the leaning itself like he on that purple drank that bothers me. It's disingenuous and it's far deeper than some guy spewing nonsense. It's a weapon. Not quite the same but kinda similar, check out Nathan For You. Much much better docudramedy, not even close.
MartinHafer My daughter suggested I give "Adam Ruins Everything" because I am already a huge fan of "Penn & Teller: Bullsh@t"...as both shows have many similarities. Both set out to contradict commonly held assumptions and both are well made and entertaining. The only big differences I see are that "Adam Ruins Everything" has no gratuitous nudity, is more liberal in political bent and is a bit more hip. Both will challenge your assumptions and will definitely make you think. Plus, even when I am not in complete agreement with what the show asserts, you can't help but like the host, Adam Conover, and his on-screen friends.UPDATE: While I still enjoy the show quite a bit, I have noticed that sometimes the show uses opinion and makes it sound like fact. This is not generally the case, but for example, the show about the evils of cars is based on the assumption that European-style transportation systems are superior to those in the States AND that subways and buses and trains would work the same here in the States. That is debatable...especially since many transportation alternatives in the States (such as the subway in LA and AMTRAK) are huge money-losers.
atlasmb "Adam Ruins Everything" is a comedy show that seeks to be educational. Like "Mythbusters", it dispels commonly believed falsehoods, but it doesn't conduct experiments, it cites scientific studies. Dr. Oz does much of the same thing, but his show focuses only on issues of health and medicine. "Adam Rules" provides guidance on broader cultural issues that could include almost any subject.If you remember the show "Intelligence For Your Life" (which starred John Tesh and Connie Sellecca), this show is similar, but it features skits that are very funny, as well as excellent graphics and special effects.The problem is that studies often contradict each other. But "Adam Ruins" tries to explain why one study's results are probably more reliable (like the fact that one study was based solely upon a sample group consisting of 17th century milkmaids in France).This show is highly recommended for viewers who like to be informed but don't appreciate the sermonizing of most advice shows. Or you can watch it only for the humor, but be warned--you will still learn a lot in the process. A deduction of one point for the common and simplistic mistake of calling the motivations of all companies, no matter their intentions or methods, "capitalistic".And one more deduction because its presentation excludes debate. Because it provides evidence and reasoning in presenting its positions, it is not asking the viewer to accept its teachings as rote learning. But the lack of opposing viewpoints means that it fails to teach to value of comparing competing ideas. For example, in the episode that minimized the value of grammatical rules, it would have been beneficial to hear the opinion of someone who believes there are costs in such a position. The ability to evaluate differing views is important in learning.
Kythorne Jegoyet I enjoyed the first few episodes of this show but there was something about it I couldn't quite put my finger on. After watching a few more episodes, it became clear that this show is biased to the left. Some episodes are more blatant than others such as the voting or the prison ones. Not to say the show isn't informational; It is, but I just wish they would present points on both sides to the topics they discuss. Rather, things are glossed over when they can easily become counter-arguments. The presenter, Adam Conover, is entertaining and does a great job keeping the show on a steady pace. And, if you look at the top corner of the screen whenever he talks, there's usually a credible source listed. Give it a watch, you might like it.
