Cookington12 I'm really disappointed White Rabbit Project ended up as meh as it was. I've always enjoyed the trio's segments on Mythbusters and while it was sad to see them leave the show, I was excited to see what they could accomplish with their freedom on Netflix. Instead, the show feels like a very high budget YouTube top ten list with occasional experiments here and there.Each episode focuses on a general theme, such as superhero powers. Each of the three have two entries out of 6, generally with one being an experiment and the other being some small research and storytelling. At the end of every episode, the 6 entries are (supposedly?) averaged out and ranked on three criteria, like "how similar is it to the actual superpower." The problem I have with White Rabbit Project is that it doesn't play to the strengths that the trio had back in Mythbusters. Everybody works separately here, maybe showing up to an experiment as a test subject every once in a while, which is a far cry from their work in Mythbusters.I would only recommend watching this if you have nothing else to watch and you liked the trio's work back in Mythbusters. There's definitely some good episodes in here, don't get me wrong, but even despite those good episodes, the majority of this show is forgettable.

Gunji Otaku This show was setup to look great, it had all the makings of a great show. a great cast, great premise and its on Netflix, a great media outlet!Somehow it came out sub par. And i was very disappointed by this. The show is clearly not myth-busters 2.0 something most fans were in many ways expecting. Yes you will always get your haters when the sequel isn't as good as the original, but lets face it nothing is. This show simply needed better marketing to make it clear it is NOT in anyway like myth-busters. The science of the show is limited and far between, where as the show focuses on stories (not myths!) from history about a certain subject each episode. The weak glue holding together the reason for the show is to analyze 6 (random number??) events in history that involved the shows theme that episode. This sounded great in the trailers!What you actually get however is stories. Long drawn out, poorly told stories often acted out in scene that's cheesy, dull and often filled with casual racism. Don't get me wrong, some of the stories are quite interesting, but how they are told to you via the build team is just upsetting and corny.For people we know are naturally funny, intelligent and interesting at telling the "myths", they somehow manage to make every serious real life event seem like a sitcom, constantly waiting for a punchline that never arrives. It hurt my eyes and ears to see the heist in which some old British men bust into a vault. What passes for 'humour' in the states clearly likely just enrages any real British folk with their appalling clichés.What happened guys? I don't want to rag on you and the producers, but this show really needs a spit shine to pull out those good moments and great ideas, and really bring this up to par for a 2016 production. We often barely see the build team, you know, building. They are often confined to god awful acting and cartoon like realities to tell a tale. Some of the really interesting stories have clearly been well researched and really grasp you and pull you "down the rabbit hole" you want to know more, you want to see the theory tested.. but then it ends, like sex without an orgasm. Abruptly cutting to a "hey that was a story you liked now lets rate it" pointless arbitrary system in which they give numbers to randomly picked features of the event etc. WHY? Why 6? Why rate out of 10? Why place in some weakly held together ranking system, which isn't a surprise if you can do basic maths throughout the show, because that makes it science? I'm open to the idea of trying something new, and I don't want to sound negative to the whole show, it's just hard not to when what limited hype for a show crushes your hopes when the final product arrives. Please just clean and buff the wheel, don't try reshape it. I'll say now in a spoiler free way, the episode on con artists.. just skip it. It's dull, tedious and has 0 science in the entire episode, it's just storytelling done bad. All the facts in this episode can be found in a 10 second Google search. Sadly reading Wikipedia will likely be more entertaining.Well I guess if this show is set for a season 2 it really needs to pick up it's game. Look how well grand tour did, just because its got the big 3 doing what we all know and love them doing. We liked myth-busters because science is fascinating, terrifying, fun, and also something we can see & prove in real life. We loved the build team for their natural reactions to things (censored though they often were), their quirky humor, and their mistakes which made them human and relate-able. We'd love to see more of them, and less of Hollywood please.Will I return down the rabbit hole like Alice? Only after I've fallen asleep...Gunji

facebook-688-234620 It was a surprise to see this show in my Netflix. Admittedly, I have missed these three since Mythbusters changed format. Nothing of their new endeavors really seemed to match the feel and atmosphere. Close but not quite...The first few episodes of White Rabbit reminded of a flopped show with a similar theme: "mystery stories" with partial re-enactments. It came across a bit amateurish and cheap but the stories gave the potential tot he show but the drive seemed to bleed out after a few episodes and it disapeared.White Rabbit project had a similar feel at start; the team seemed out of place, slightly uncomfortable even to watch. Until a few episodes in and the pace is picked up, graphics and angles get more familiar and the team seems to get back into their groove. All planets align and everything sparkles again!It is very enjoyable series to watch. Especially the fact the format is kept open on a per-episode base. Which opens up every episode to be a new and different experience you didn't expect. This has become a guilty pleasure to watch and I believe everyone who enjoyed and misses "the build team" will find the same enjoyment back in this series, watching them do what they do best.

Jared Reabow I am a tech enthusiast with qualifications in History, Physics, Engineering and Computing. I know what I am talking about and loved Mythbusters because so did they, but this show is like Mythbusters crossed with a tabloid and a reality TV show.This is the show a 8 to 16 year old could watch but for most other people is is dull.It is painful to watch the BAD CGI, I mean really bad mostly because it is so stupid and pointless! Floating screens and bad holograms that grant , Tory and Kari pretend to interact with just look so bad, it is really disappointing how much rubbish is in this show, the creators really banked on the Mythbusters trio attracting viewership but they don't have the quality of content to hold us.They trio said it best in the first episode when the mocked Tori's short movie clip, everything they said applies so strongly to the show itself.Then there is some stupid stuff they do, most is just funny or harmless but some is trash. In one episode they promote shooting down, smashing or otherwise disabling other peoples property which is very illegal and selfish! Or there is point where they pick trash situations over interesting ones like Hitler on estrogen when they could have picked something much more ludicrous and interesting.
