Bill Nye Saves the World is a convivial series that imports elements from Nye’s old series (mainly those amusing demos with bubbling colorful liquids, Bunsen burners and flasks) into a format that resembles “The Daily Show.”

While Bill Nye Saves the World is a relatively modest enterprise by Netflix's standards, it is, overall, an admirable addition to its lineup. If it's not quite a rescue mission, Nye appears to have taken to heart the concept of trying to provide a small beacon of light rather than just cursing the darkness.

Whenever Nye is off-camera, Bill Nye Saves the World slips a bit into generic territory, and the entertainment value is instantly deflated.

Though the series is made expressly for adults, the tone is confused thanks to an overly laugh-ready audience and Nye's Listen up, kids ways of explaining concepts. [21 Apr 2017, p.58]

Bill Nye Saves the World is just not that entertaining a show all-around. While the format is geared to adults, the content is too simple to be of interest to them. For kids who might try to watch, all the talking heads will be a bore.

I used to watch The Science Guy religiously as a kid, and my science classes where we got watch episodes are treasured school memories. I've tried three times now to write a review of this show that accurately captures how sad it makes me and I just don't have the words. This show is easily one of the biggest disappointments ever filmed and has exactly zero redeeming factors. Do not watch this. Please do not watch this.
