I always liked this type of informative show like Brain Games and was expecting to get similar and perhaps new information of human mind and behaviour, but it turned from enlightening to cringing really quickly!
Coming on this platform to see this show categorised as reality tv than documentary probably explains it why it felt weird, when all 100 human subjects are credited, the informations are here, they are actors after all...
Even the hosts in lab coats, which is just like the uniform effect experiment in Ep. 1 which pointed out, we tend to like and take individuals in uniform more seriously than they in casual wear, especially the ones in elite professional uniforms... I wonder if the scientists in suits that explain the experiments after each tests are real
I guess we all realised something was off when they jumped into conclusion just as the tests are finished.. with only a short conversation to back up the 'facts', for example:
The 30s and 40s age groups failing miserably in the chair assembly contest, just because the 2 guys responsible for reading the manual couldn't explain properly, and these 2 individuals now represent all 30s and 40s?? What? This trait has nothing to do with age at all!
I'm only 3 episode in, the battle of the sexes episode that turned into feminist conclusion, again loosely based on biased test results... I'm female but I don't like how some people took this ideology to the extreme actually, I thought feminists were originally fighting for women's equality with men, not over powering them...
Anyways, I've stopped taking the facts and conclusion from this show seriously, and start to enjoy the funny and entertaining side from it, like the tik-tak-toe song... In general the show still points out a variety of social commentary worth discussing and thinking
