Very good at informing all ages on interesting subjects, practical, logical, history and future at the same time. Each new invention has a tiny piece of the past ways of doing things and of equipment too.

Everyone should have a daily dose of How It's Made, the most informative and relaxing show. They let the visuals do all the work, peppering the names of tools and processes here and there. Thank you for making this show.

It's an awesome show, and I love to nerd out on it and watch a few episodes at a time every once in a while, but you honestly get more for your money if you just watch it on Netflix. It may not have the newest seasons, but there are still a ton of episodes to watch.
