Would have been better with, you know, real science. But mildly entertaining anyway. So long as you're aware that actual science doesn't look anything like this.

Some bits are fun, some intriguing, and some flat out nonsense or just boring. Even the male host looks bored 99% of the time. Hit or miss, really.

Where on earth did you find these irritating and unfunny presenters?

The idea is so enjoyable and the results actually interesting but every time they tied it up to prove that white people and men are horrible and it honestly didnt have to be like that

I was excited about watching this show because I enjoyed Alie Ward's Ologies podcast (and she is in the show). I am a scientist, and I am horrified to see unjustified conclusions the show is drawing from their poorly designed experiments. I really want to give it a chance but I don't think I will be able to watch it. I hope people do not think this is how science works after watching this show.

I didn't watch the show for "Scientific Research" or Experiments, I watched the show as "Comedic Relief" and trust me, I thoroughly enjoyed it seeing it from that lens. I can understand why people are rating it so low, change your expectations and you will seriously get a chuckle or two. Lighten up people.

The premise of this show is interesting enough to suck you in, but none of the "experiments" are remotely legitimate. I watched 4 episodes and each one gets a little bit worse than the last. They take topics that *could* be legitimately interesting to do case studies on, then do very small sample sizes and intentionally set the parameters to ensure their desired outcome. In episode 4 the test subject has a gun with blanks, and is told to shoot anyone who points a gun at them. At the end, two guys jump out side by side with cell phones - and the show tells us that people are more likely to shoot the person of color. The problem is the data is completely insincere because the white guy pops up holding his phone like hes looking through his pictures, and the black guy swivels around a corner with his arm stretched out completely pointing at the person with the gun, and even his second hand supporting it - with legs spread out in a controlling stance like he's planting his feet to shoot. They never swapped the postures or anything to see if that changed anything. That is just one example of many, many, many (intentional) problems with their testing. It's not experiments it's just a soap box. Save your time.

Okay, so first off, these are not scientific experiments in the least-not even as "scientific" as Mythbusters or Bill Nye on that scale. However, I'm giving it an 8 becuase my wife and I had a blast watching it. The show is hosted by, presumeably, three comedians and it's hillarious. So don't go in expecting something like Cosmos for social psychology. However, if you go into it as just simple entertainment, I think it totally delivers in that regard. And I'm not even writing that ironically. Sit back, have fun, and just ennjoy it for what it is

I just read so many negative reviews of this show. But I found it compelling. You are free to draw your own conclusions. The experiments were interesting, the explanations by the pros added to the story, and the 100 humans were pretty well representative of the real world in the US.

Perfect? No. Thought provoking? Yes. Biases and human behavior being explored? Yes. I recommend it.

Just watched Netflix's "100 Humans." It's interesting, but I don't think it's interesting in how the producers of the show intended it to be. Some of the experiments used such poorly thought out techniques that it was cringe-worthy. For example, as is common with such shows, the experiments in their "battle of the sexes" episode were so biased and pandering that I'd actually be insulted if I were a woman. Other experiments throughout the entire show had gigantic holes in them.

So, the show was interesting not because of any scientific information it provided, but because it illustrated that "scientific information" can be pulled and pushed into whatever form the presenter wishes the audience to see.

Wow, weird to see that everyone's so butthurt about the show being biased, legitimate and unscientific. It's a show, it was really entertaining and fun to watch, I haven't laughed like this for a long time. Of course it's not going to be scientific, it is supposed to be entertaining and it did. You don't assume that a show of 100 people could scientifically and truly answer to the questions and stereotypes on the show? No. So stop acting like a smartass and enjoy the show, lmao.

...but overall it is enyoable and sometimes funny! Don't watch this if you expect a scientifically legit and informative show. Watch it if you want to relax and laugh a bit, nothing more, nothing less.

Initially the show seemed very interesting but as I watched more episodes I started to feel that it was biased until I reached episode 4 and that point it was crystal clear how biased this show was.

I wouldn't go into too much detail but in that episode they showed two men holding phones, a black guy and a white guy. The black guy was holding the phone as if he was holding a gun, with two hands. Like really? who holds a phone like a gun with two hands? So the test subjects had to make a instant decision on who to shoot and naturally most of them shot the black guy who was holding the phone like a gun. From this study they inferred that all people are biased towards black people.

It's amusing, but it's pathetic that liberals create a show like this, skew very very many of the experiments to produce results that advance the liberal agenda, and present it as conclusive science. What's even more sad, is people watching this will actually believe what they are saying.

My wife and I watch virtually no TV. But with the stay-home mandate, we decided to give something a try. We log in to netflix, find something that looks amusing, and get rewarded with this garbage.

I enjoyed the subjects, but the show is liberal propaganda. Science is insulted. Viewer beware.

Very liberal biased, a neat idea the hosts are entertaining. Interesting but felt like more of a political push than science.

I don't know what I was expecting, but it was definitely better than what I saw. I'm not sure who the target audience is, but I'm certainly not part of it.

The hosts are annoying and the gimmicks are...it's just all around bad.

Wow, review after review: "OMG it's not real science!" Well who said it was? It may not be factual or studies that can be used as references but that's not what this show is about. A show that did that would be boring, slow and not on Netflix. And if it were, not many people would a) have the time to watch it or b) be bothered. This show contains short, sweet experiments that does make the viewer at least question themselves. That is the point and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't listen to these expert reviewers calling out the obvious.

Then as each episode and experiment went by, the bias and fake science that was held up as real science just pushed me over the edge. I hope to God that people who watch this show think for themselves and can see how bad it is. It's almost dangerous. Seriously.

So, first of all, it's quite funny to see the scientists creating reviews on an entertainment review website. They bash the show as unscientific and outlandish in attempts to draw conclusions that end up being simplistic and non-derivative of the data. I agree with you there, the data may at some times-most of the time, be simplistic in view but that doesn't mean you get nothing from the show. In fact, the world at large is simple at first glance and it's YOUR job to either accept it as truth or see what's really pushing the change.

What the show attempts to do; it never reaches. However, it does display data, of which is open to speculation (there may be an age which is known to be better at the task at hand, however, they may have conditions inhibiting or greatening their skills in that area-which wasn't accounted for and will give false data) - that can help you form conclusions or a generalised statement about what you believe to be true.

I think that's where the show falls; you need to be aware enough that you know not everything you see in the show is true (as nothing really is) and you need to be open enough to absorb information that you want to decipher and decode.

I think the main reason the reviews are antagonistic towards the show is that it does display a leaning towards popular ideals among younger generations and the supposed left groups (I think left and right ideology is just stupid and should be centralised but this isn't a politics debate).

The show tends to bash people in the workforce as dumb (30-50) in passive ways which is an obvious attempt at appealing to younger audiences (as humour) but if you're sure of yourself and your competency then you shouldn't need to cry about it unless it truly affects you.

What ill say to you when watching the show is, have an inquisitive mind - 'why may that be false' - 'the data is good but the conclusions are wrong or too simplistic and missing factors' - watch the show as someone who likes to be challenged, not in an aggressive way that will undermine your skills and attributes, but watch it with curiosity. Watch everything with curiosity--y'all are too damn critical of everything and tend to miss the 10 good parts for every 1 bad part of life, focus on what can move you forward; but then again, I guess your whole career is focused on bashing shows down to oblivion. (Written by a 17-year-old - feel free to 'correct' me with anything I said that is wrong or unscientific)

I don't know why I expected more of this. For the most part unscientific and part of the problem why people discredit science. Still couldn't look away though. So an entertaining watch none the less.

People leaving negative reviews because this is not actual science clearly didn't get it. This was funny, entertaining, relatable, thought-provoking and only occasionally annoying. Really enjoyed it.

Everyone that is complaining that the show is "not scientific" is right. But honestly, anyone with a middle school education knows that a 100 person study would never be considered scientificly accurate. I liked that they pulled in experts to talk about certain topics, but most of all I enjoyed watching the way the people interacted with one another. It was a fun watch that got me interested in doing some research on select topics (i.e. Looking at real science). I do agree that some of the hosts and narration is a bit obnoxious, but I would still watch more. Some people just had much different expectations - watch for fun, not facts.

The whole thing was set up just to entertain and they didn't even do that well. There was absolutely no real science or limiting of variables matched with an extremely small number of subjects. At best this was just poorly done entertainment playing on peoples biases for views, and at worst this is propaganda. Either way you slice it, it was a trainwreck.
