Incredibly dumb

carlosgaido2002

There are so many issues with this show that it's hard to know where to even start.

Jesse Ventura summarizes the "facts" that he found from his "reliable" sources to the camera as if he were taunting a fellow wrestler (or "fighter" as he calls himself). Can people really take that seriously?

Ventura takes everything at face value, but only from the conspiracy side. "But that random guy says he saw this, so it must be true. He doesn't have any proof beyond his word, but hey, a garbage collector's word HAS to be more reliable than that of our sinister's government!" He actually uses the word "sinister" to describe the government a few times.

The show is not even fun to watch. When I read the explanation of the show and saw that he "took both sides and made a decision on whether the conspiracies are true" made me think that this was a somewhat intellectually based show, but this is only sparks and glitter. In the second episode, for example, he starts the show admitting that he already believes in the conspiracy, so for the rest of the show he simply tries to prove what he already "knows to be true."

There is no substance at all in this show, and Ventura and his minion's acting is awful and over the top. Yes buddy, they're acting, like when Ventura was a wrestler (sorry, "fighter"), he was acting too. In the first episode, for example, when he is trying to enter a military research base, he says that he can't believe that a former governor, former navy seal can't be admitted, therefore there has to be something shady going on, so he starts yelling at the manager of the base that when he doesn't get what he wants, he "gets angry." With this, he does two things: 1. By yelling at the manager, he looks tough making sure he WON'T be admitted into the base, making sure he can't disprove his nutty theory, and 2. he makes his ignorant viewer base believe that he is correct, but he is not. He is not a governor navy seal, he is a FORMER all that, making him a simple civilian. Why would a civilian have access to a strongly guarded military base? And by the way, why is so strongly guarded? Because the stuff they have there is incredibly dangerous, the military even admits that, so why let anyone walk in? The janitors at my school won't let me get into the machine room, so maybe there's something shady going on there, maybe some mind control technology or something.

So, skip this one if you still have a functioning brain, because it will turn it into mush after a few episodes. Luckily I stopped only after one and a half, when some gray matter started to leak through my ears.
