Long after mysteriously disappearing from "Mythbusters", the trio show up in their very own series.
In the premiere episode, each goes about trying to create something that a superhero might use: Kari wants to control minds (which ends up with a funny scene involving Tory), Grant is goes with the power to freeze things, and Tory wants to be able to throw lightening bolts.
But it doesn't end there as they want more, so Grant wants to have invisibility, Kari wants to fly, and Tory wants super strength as well.
I don't know why Kari had to go with the more expensive idea she's not even allowed to even try out -- there' a cheaper alternative she could get to fly: just go to youtube and search for "Flyboard Air by ZR Naples Florida". Six minutes and thirty-seven seconds of, "I gotta have one of those!".
Overall it's a fun watch and there's almost no filler -- it gets straight to the points while letting us enjoy them a little without constant edits (even though there are at least eight editors credited).
The chemistry is still strong between the three and you can tel they are having fun.
It's not remarkable or as gripping as "Mythbusters", but it's certainly better than the new "Mythbusters" series which has become a reality TV series. Your time is better spent on this series.
There's little to complain about: the theme music sucks, and some of the transitions could be better. And what's with that guy in the restaurant deliberately turning his head to and starring at the brick wall? It doesn't look that fascinating to me!
But I do have to deduct points from the nerd licenses of Grant and Tory -- what super heroes are they talking about that freeze people and use lightening bolts against bad guys? I sure can't name any. Mr. Freeze and that female who ice creating powers that I can't recall the name of, were super villains. I can't think of a single super hero that used lightening or even wielded lightening; in fact, I can't think of a villain off hand that did it either, just Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars, but he draws his powers from the Force, not just being a super villain with freak abilities. And Kari didn't even use mind control, furthermore, I can't think of a superhero off hand who used mind control (though maybe Martian Manhunter comes close); the closet I can think of to controlling minds came from the 1966 "Batman" villain Siren. So, I must deduct a point from Kari's nerd license, too. And I know what you are thinking: "Hey, I read comic books all the time and I cant name ten superheroes who have that power, LOL", well you go ahead and name obscure superheroes the general public doesn't know about. Every well-known superhero, or even the background ones in "Justice League Unlimited", don't use those. And I can't think of a "hero" who would strike down bad guys dead with lightening.
