The only two kinds of people who wouldn't like this show are people who don't care about any of the topics they've used for episodes, and very close minded people who disagree with their opinions. If you're open minded, and you have an interest in the topics, then you'll love it. If you can't handle having any of your opinions or beliefs challenged, then don't waste your time.

My concern's with the context of P&T's sources for the "PETA" episode. Their info comes from the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), an organization that lobbies for the meat industry. Check the episode's credits under "Footage & Stills Provided By" then Google "Center for Consumer Freedom". It's in their interest to smear groups like PETA, and they do it by proxy under various Websites and front organizations to confuse animal lovers and draw support away from these powerful animal welfare groups. PETA and HSUS are against what the CCF lobbies to protect. Follow the money! PETA does more for animal welfare than those who bash them. As early as season two, P&T seem to have become what they claimed to be against. And Dennis Prager's uneducated comment regarding chicken intelligence is completely wrong and false. There's an article in the Scientific American on chicken intelligence anyone can Google as well.

Penn and Teller are really great. This show is a lot of fun to watch and it's very addictive. Don't binge watch it over a weekend. It makes Mondays so much more miserable when you've seen behind the curtains on a lot of topics.
