White Rabbit Project (Netflix series with ex-Mythbusters hosts)

Who else has checked this out?

I just finished the first episode, and was mostly disappointed. I was glad they created a new show to put Kari / Grant / Tori back together, and I was interested to see something a little different to Mythbusters, but it lacked what made Mythbusters enjoyable to me in the first place, or what made the hosts enjoyable to watch for me. The first episode didn't have the team building anything, or doing much of anything together, didn't feature any practical science, and was a lot of flash with very little substance. It also felt too scripted/forced, like the parts of Mythbusters I least enjoyed.
Overall, I just found it boring, being mostly a watered down primer for technologies that are already very well known (at least to me). There was nothing unexpected or new to look forward to at the end of the episode as with Mythbusters. Are the rest of the episodes much different?

Try a couple more episodes as they vary in tone.

I enjoyed the first episode quite a bit. I gave up on the second episode about 20 minutes in. Tried the third episode, got bored there too. Kind of gave up.

I want to see the three of them building crazy shit, not sitting around talking about poorly documented things.

Also it's still the first series. Mythbusters first two series were pretty bad too. Especially that unbelievably irritating folklorist who they quite rightly got rid of in S3.

They might still tinker with the format as it goes. In fact I'd guarantee it.

I've seen two episodes now and this is my biggest gripe with the show so far aswell. It's like the final seasons of Mythbusters but even worse. Watching Grant act like a supervillain in the first episode was extremely cringeworthy, and Tori sounded bored as hell reading out his narration. I'd say it's quite overproduced and comes across as a bit sterile as a result, which is disappointing given the team's obvious chemistry when they're actually together and not acting out some ridiculous greenscreened scene.

Mythbusters was never bad, although it definitely improved. The folklorist was unnecessary, but inoffensive. I found the B-team more annoying than her, as much as I like them.

I agree with Blob. Yes the folklorist was annoying, but to this day I can easily watch early Mythbusters with no problem.

The problem with TWRP is that it's little more than a TV version of BuzzFeed click bait. "Check out the top 10 fastest animals on the planet".
There's also no chemistry, since they're not even interacting with each other.

Frankly, unless they majorly redo the show, I foresee a cancelation by season 2.

EDIT: And, I know Adam and Jamie will not work together anymore, but man, an Adam-only show would be awesome too.
