“Adam Ruins Everything” is a debunking show with a lot of humor. Host Adam Conover often correctly identifies the source of problems as government action or government-business cronyism. For instance, he recently tied the poor economic situation of dark-skinned people to the “redlining” practices instituted under FDR.
On the negative side, he’s convinced that the solution for many of these government-created problems is more government. He often ends up by proposing new, expensive government programs. But you can take those or leave them, and you’ll end up knowing more.
The quality of research is good. I’ve spotted a few errors, but the show admits to them. It even devoted a segment to correcting previous errors. For instance, he claimed that air marshals do more than the TSA to stop attacks in flight. He later admitted that neither one accomplishes much.
“Adam Ruins Everything” gets a high recommendation from me.
