Super cringy and fake
20 May 2023
I like Mark Rober's stuff, even if he does use his popularity and net worth purely to play act at charity-washing - by selecting one (and one only) photogenic sick kid per year with a guaranteed positive outcome and play up how philanthropic he is, making maddening amounts of money for himself in the process.

This show is just like Mark - fake and designed to fleece money from his fans with the pretence of being for the public good. It has all the trappings on mid-2000s science-entertainment cringe TV.

The cast are himself, a token Asian, a token Latina woman, and a token white woman - the Latina wears short skirts and tights and presents herself as a 'coder and hacker' while displaying fake code on her setup of four monitors in a square configuration, pretending it's super secret. Oh, and in addition to being an elite hacker, she's also apparently able to solder, build, and paint.

The welder gets about wearing tight overalls and boiler suits, all designed to show off her 'assets.' They make sure to remind you that she's super flexible by having her put her foot on top of the bench when she's cutting and welding, as well as making sure we see the footage of her acrobatics where she contorts herself into shapes in skimpy outfits.

The Asian 'maker,' (whatever the hell that is) is just there. He exists in the show.

The whole show is centred around getting revenge on people that do things that are minor inconveniences like not putting away shopping trolleys, over-engineering low grade pranks on people that are well and truly in on the gag.

I got one episode in and deleted the rest. Not worth your time or brain cells.
