Hopefully not the typical, "It's all X group of people out to get me!" victim response.

Can you elaborate? I'm genuinely curious, and have no idea what your talking about. What cause? People hate his new show? What harm is he doing?

Generally speaking, the cause would be scientific literacy, but more specifically, he fights against climate change denialists. The show has been largely panned as condescending towards those who are skeptical of science, ridiculously cringeworthy in its attempts at humor, and filled with SJW propoganda such as talk about how gender is on a spectrum. The show has abysmal reviews. He's made himself an absolute joke in one fell swoop and has damaged scientific literacy with the show as conservatives can point to this show and accuse it of being blatant and crass propaganda, and they have a point.

Oh wow. I read some of those IMDb reviews.
And that video....
I definitely won't be watching. It seems like he's more like 'Bill Nye the Politically Correct Guy' and very little of his show covers any actual science.

Spoken like someone who hasn't watched. Because that's the thing. The show can barely be considered educational.

A lot of the reviews are probably just people who heard someone else talk about how bad they thought it was on 4chan or Reddit, then "reviewed" it without ever having watched it.

Also, the people who they heard talk about it probably hadn't watched it either.

The walls of your echo chamber must be pretty thick, but it's been pretty thoroughly noted for having an overwhelmingly negative reaction:
http://www.polygon.com/tv/2017/4/26/15413498/bill-nye-netflix-criticism

Then there's the 1.9 metacritic rating. And the less than 5% like ratio on many of the clips.

The fuck are you talking about? Most of the Netflix reviews I've seen list it as 0 stars or 1 at most, except for the few that praise the message rather than the content. Did you see the complete absence of stars and think that meant 5 or are you just engaging in your usual shit-tier trolling on your troll alt?

Where as it been "very well recieved"?

Imbd gives it 4/10
Average tomatometer is at 75% (which isn't bad, but a bit above average)
The average audience score is at 27%

And imo, the show is terrible

Honestly the only place I've seen say that is good is here

you are literally the first person ive seen anywhere who doesnt think its a steaming pile of shit.

which isnt surprising.

what have they done so far? from what ive seen so far they've advocated transgenders based on pseudo science, theyve told white people to stop appropriating other peoples cultures.

im assuming the rest of the show is ALSO exactly what tumblrinas like you want to hear. Contrary to what tumblr tells you, you are the minority.
