More of the same. On the surface this idea had a lot potential. You quickly find that it was less of an Idea and more just a Title.
The bulk of this series is random information, plenty of holier-than-thou critiquing of modern technology, and a whole lot of "Stuff I Know" shoved at you by Michael Pollan. Not that any of it is wrong, it's just bland, smug and unnecessary.
Netflix clearly gets viewership out of these things, however. The most telling scene is a crossover bit with Simin Nosrat of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, another aimless Netflix doc that explains why everyone else is wrong.
Fine for casual viewing, but don't expect any epiphanies here.
