I know I'm going to get attacked by the MAGA cesspit but here it goes.

Like Adam Ruins everything, this show cites it's sources and provides other resources where people can find information about the episode's topic. They also have a number of independent fact checkers as Adam Conover is known to have in almost all of his projects. So no this isnt a show of lies, misinformation, propaganda or fairy tales as some have implied.

This show breaks our government down and easy to digest while informing us things behind the scenes that effect our day to day. Like the Food and Weather episodes.

Is our government perfect? Oh God no. But it addresses it's flaws. Just look into the FEMA bit.

OUR government isn't perfect and this show (like all of his other projects) tries to offer actual solutions instead of ignoring the problem or yelling about it without bothering to try to fix it.

This show, despite having Obama in the first and last episode, is bipartisan because our day to day ultimately is bipartisan. The weather isn't going to Only rain on the GOP and food safety doesn't only effect Dems. But in order to keep everyone safe and healthy, we have to be aware of how our system works. Take away Government in meat processing facilities and allow for self inspection that has been proven multiple times that doesn't work (a severe uptick in meat contamination with fecal matter being the most common issue) then we risk going back to meat not meant for human consumption, illnesses and death which is why Teddy Roosevelt created legislation that became USDA and FDA. THATS the kind of information this show produces.

If you are just anti-everything except for your own political party, not going to use the provided sources to have a deeper look, or just instantly dismiss everything because it doesn't fit your political views. Then skip this because you aren't going to like it, and will come on here and parrot others here who are uninformed about our system.

If you are genuinely curious about things and want more context in today's America, putting political aspects aside, I highly recommend this series.

And like I said in the beginning, it provides sources so you can dig deeper into the subject matter.
