I'm quite split after having watched the entire season 1. On one hand - I really enjoyed it. On the other, I feel like it has some mayor flaws.
Unlike a lot of people I really liked Zac as the main host of the show. He is charismatic, "down to earth", funny and more often then not very genuine. I really enjoyed his curiosity and open mind to learning new things. Darin however is another story. My impression of him is that he is a "know it all" and often seems quite arrogant. I get the feeling that Zac takes every word of his to heart - which I in a lot of cases don't think it particularly healthy. Their chemistry is a little of aswell, I'm getting the feeling that they aren't as close as they want it to appear.
Other than that, there are some punch in the face obvious product placements that I don't think is necessary with a production company like Netflix. I mean come on, we don't have to watch Zac pay with a blue Visa card every single episode. The RVCA clothing seems a bit over the top aswell - wasn't as put of by that but still a bit annoying when it is that obvious.
I sometimes feel like the "science" behind it all is a bit dumbed down, it has both it's pros and cons. Due to this I think it can reach an audience that otherwise wouldn't be very in to this subject. And for me personally - that made the show very easily digestible and quite the perfect show to watch an episode of before going to bed, so I didn't really mind at all.
If there were to be a season 2 I'd still watch it - but my hopes is that the co-host is a different person. Or maybe - potentially even better - zac by himself.
