08/07/2020 Prehistoric Road Trip is benign enough PBS edutainment, but it doesn't stand out much from similar programming or bring new knowledge to the table. The information it covers is basic and foundational. Emily travels around to different sites and shows us fossils which represent the different species alive throughout history, in chronological order. What I always liked about Emily's YouTube channel was that she featured interviews with experts who were charismatic and never dumbed the information down. They were full of fun and bizarre little details a science enthusiast could appreciate without being a scientist. This show by comparison feels aimed at a younger (or at least less educated) demographic, and a lot of the experts are awkward on-camera. It IS cool all of this evidence of past life can be found in the United States, but I don't feel like I learned much more than that. Watching all three episodes was a bit of a drag.
