Down to Earth with Zac Efron (2020– )

A lot of haters in the review section

[8/10 · 15 July 2020]

As a biologist/ecologist myself, I found this show very inspirational and adjusted to the less aware people. I found it very eye opening even tho I work with many agencies in my country and in broader sense of Europe that deal with smart cities and sustainability. This is a show for people who do not have a direct contact with these kinds of problems and should be looked at in such a way. Sure, I was pretty much annoyed with the water tasting segment in one of the episodes, but that is only because my country is privileged to have "fancy", mineralised water running on tap all around cities. We have to be understanding that for Zac it was the first time he has tasted water containing natural CO2 (bubbles) amongst other beneficial compounds, while I drink it daily for free. We have to understand that cities in the US primarily belong to cars, while in most of Europe I get fine on my bike for longer distances. "Down to Earth" is there to present a different perspective and show that we are not alone in the world and what I find normal, some poeple don't and need to be educated. I gave it an 8 because one of the episodes was pretty much boring while the rest was amazing. My favorite must be "Sardinia" closely folowed by "France" because the topics adressed hit close to home. Even tho I knew most of the information given in them, I loved how they presented it to the wider audience. The hosts have some pretty good jokes and it is very entertaining to witness all of the small things they are impressed by, makes you think about all the things you take for granted. Higly recommended!
