Mark Rober's Revengineers (2023)
Mark Rober in name only; don't waste your time
When I saw in a short on Mark Rober's YouTube channel that he had a TV show now, I was intrigued.
Sadly, this is nothing at all like his (fantastic) YouTube videos. It's simply a bad reality pranks show.
They're supposedly trying to teach people a lesson in response to an act of rudeness, but most of the time, the people pranked don't understand, and there's no attempt to explain why they were pranked.
The pranks aren't even very well executed (or that funny); and unlike on YouTube, there's no analysis as to why, or getting into much of the engineering of anything. It's all enormously dumbed down, and interactions among the team feel kinda staged.
It's like it's just some naive attempt to appeal to the unintellectual masses. It's so off-brand, it makes me wonder what involvement Mark actually had in its creation!
Don't waste your time.
Sorry Mark. I don't think this was worth the damage to your brand. I hope they paid you well at least!
