For the most part, it's an OK show. I enjoy watching it when the topic is something I'd be interested in. However, my biggest peeve against the show is that most of its episodes can be narrated in two sentences: "A worker puts the raw material into the mould. The machine takes over to complete the process." This is not a show about how things are made. It's a show about how machines mass-produce items with no craft or art involved in the process. I would like to see how something is actually made. For example, I would like to see how a frame is constructed and a membrane of skin or wood strips is lain over it to produce a kayak. I don't want to see "a high-powered press forces the molten plastic pellets into the mould. When it cools, a worker sprays fibreglass onto it and paints it." Yes, many things are mass-produced, but not everything.
score 7/10
