When I first heard of this show, this was just one of the few factoid shows TruTV had running along their "Internet Video" shows, a genre I definitely did NOT make up for those shows, such as World's Dumbest and Only Hurts When I Laugh and Impractical Jokers re-runs, both types of shows that show nearly everyday on the channel in today's time. The other two shows like it were Six Degrees to Everything, which was kind of boring, probably won't have a second season, and was hosted by two popular YouTubers that tried to trademark the word "React," and 10 Things, which was okay. This show was also a YouTube show under the channel College Humor, but unlike Six Degrees to Everything, this show is actually entertaining while having some educational value to it, and the presentation doesn't suck your soul through a straw, which was an issue I had with Six Degrees to Everything. It was a good thing that this show actually got a second season.
I've seen every episode since it launched, and so far, I haven't found a single episode that I didn't smile at, except for (obviously) the Death episode, which is a hard subject to talk about but was at least touching towards the end. One thing I like about the show is that while it's comical, it does have facts and provides sources to them, so you can do some fact checking if you wish. The main character himself, Adam Conover, is portrayed as an annoying, egotistical know-it-all hipster who pretty much talks in nothing but facts, and it actually makes him a likable character in the show. While I'm trying not to spoil the episodes themselves, they're mostly about Adam going around and (what else?) ruining their day with TRUTH.
Honestly, this is the best show that's on TruTV right now, especially if you're tired of the "Internet Video" shows and Impractical Jokers. I also noticed that, while TruTV still has their fair share of the previously mentioned shows, that the network is trying to be a little bit more experimental with their shows, and getting away from the reality repo shows that used to be on there, such as South Beach Tow and Lizard Lick Towing, because now they have a comedy game show, Comedy Knockout, Hack My Life, and a sitcom named Those Who Can't. So far, the only (small) problem I have with these shows is that they tend to stay close to comedy and isn't that true to the TruTV name, or what I would think what TruTV is meant (as in reality TV), but after having a bunch of shows that feel the same, these shows are kinda refreshing while having their own identity. I truly hope TruTV can continue finding different types of shows, and I also recommend watching this show on TV, or on YouTube since the episodes on the show are a few of those videos wrapped into one.
