First off this isn't Mythbusters. The format is very different, but this isn't a bad thing.Each episode centers around a theme, where the team compares and ranks 6 loosely related ideas (e.g. speed, heists, scams, etc.) Usually, for each idea there is storytelling interspersed with builds of contraptions used in the story. It's surprisingly entertaining, however, and the team is far more entertaining than they ever were on Mythbusters, where Adam and Jamie usually worked on the main myth of the episode and the stories of the myths weren't at the forefront.Sometimes the stories are a little rushed in order to fit all 6 ideas in, and I wish they would spend more time on the builds, however, but that doesn't ruin it for me. In Mythbusters, I didn't particularly enjoy the sections the team did, but here they're so much more interesting to listen to. This show is nice and really surprised me, as I expected it to be very different than it is. Definitely worth a watch!

One of the most beloved and wickedly entertaining pieces of pop- culture in recent memory, "Mythbusters" was a small phenomena. Mixing real science with laugh-out-loud humor and an excellent cast of real-life characters, the series thrilled audiences for well over ten years and even after cancellation, it remains a fan-favorite for many a television viewer. So it should come as no surprise that a sort-of spiritual successor or follow-up would happen. And we get that in "White Rabbit Project", an entertaining but sometimes uneven new Netflix series starring the "Mythbusters" build-team of Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara. While it has a small slew of issues holding it back from sheer perfection, I do think that the show is off to a promising start, has a lot of room to grow, and should it be renewed for a second season, it has the potential to get better and better.Each episode follows our hosts as they explore and discuss a topic, whether it be comic-book superpowers, long-fabled future-tech or even just real-life scam artists. We explore different aspects and examples of each topic and how they could be recreated in the real world or be accomplished. Along the way, we are treated to friendly banter, the occasional skit and plenty of likable chemistry with our three leads.I'll definitely admit that perhaps the biggest part of the appeal here is the fact that we've finally rejoined the build-team after their absence in the final episodes of "Mythbusters", and the leftover love for that series that fans have. And it's part of what makes the series all the more palatable even when it falters at time. Byron, Bellaci and Imahara are endlessly likable and entertaining and have an absolutely wonderful sense of companionship on screen. The topics discussed are very fascinating and it's a lot of fun seeing them doing oddball things like turning roaches into technical cyborgs or discussing the topic of heists.But that being said, I can't help but feel that the series is way too unfocused and uneven at times. To the point that some episodes just don't work. The show has a very frenetic pace and it never really stops to let you appreciate the science of what's happening. Therefore it can be hard to really get a handle or invest yourself. I also think there's a bit too much "qwirkiness" and "style" going on for the show's own good. Yes, it's fun seeing an occasional skit or seeing Grant dress up in a supervillain's outfit. But we don't need a five-minute scene to introduce an episode or a prolonged scripted scene of acting to introduce a segment. It's just got too much filler. I'd rather see more deliberate and streamlined episodes with a greater focus on and more breathing room for the actual experimentation.But that being said... it's still a very decent show. Even if abbreviated, the science is fascinating. The topics are often very fun and quite varied. Our hosts are just a blast and a half and are consistently enjoyable to watch. And there's a lot of untapped potential beneath the surface that keeps you invested and hoping for more. So hopefully it'll do well enough to get more episodes ordered. I know I'd love to see more, and I think newer installments will get progressively better. It might not quite live up to the sheer perfection that was "Mythbusters"... but it's a worthy unofficial follow-up."White Rabbit Project" is a solid 7 out of 10 for me.

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.

Why don't the creators of this show like science???They seem to think that the facts and stories in the show are not interesting enough by themselves. So they try to "improve" the "boring" science with weak jokes and a dumb ranking-system. Spoiler: it's not an improvement! If you watch this show, just skip the intro and the "outro" = the 10 minutes of wasted time where they score the different stories against each other. That way you skip all the stupid and are left with the core: a few (mildy) interesting science-related stories, which are nice to watch.
