The pseudoscience, the stilted expository conversations and performative amazement. It's as cringeworthy as you'd imagine. Particularly because it's not a parody. This show is delivered as though the work is sober and rigorous. Disco lasers "adding energy" to the environment... "This blob is an interference pattern"...
These grown adults grasp each flicker from their instruments, turn it into a quirky hypothesis and then leap to scientific certainty, all while proclaiming to be skeptical and serious-minded.
Maybe it sells, to some audiences. But, to anyone with any exposure to physics, audio, science, data analysis, or just common sense, you're in for a rough time.
In a nutshell, adults behave like imaginative kids who just got new toys, except with no humour.
