Consumer 101: With Jack Rico, Octavio Blanco, Ellen Klosz, Sheree Roach. A rag-tag group of economists and professors scour the streets for economic crime. They find something inside themselves that was there all along – a realization that their career choice might play out with suicide in the end.

“Consumer rights are often abused, itu0026#39;s good to know the pitfalls and scams. But when a show starts with the phrase u0026#39;This show is educational and informationalu0026#39; you instantly realise that the producers have dumbed it down to the Nth level. Itu0026#39;s u0026#39;Informativeu0026#39; you idiots, you canu0026#39;t just make up words.nThen on to the really unscientific article about bike safety helmets, with the added drama of an exploding melon in slow-mo. The physiology of the skull and brain bare no relation to a melon, trust me on this. Warriors and Knights of old didnu0026#39;t once charge into battle with a melon on their heads, but certainly had skulls way more robust than one.nWhy is the presenter dude so upbeat and chipper when delivering a message about death and the gory ways of dying on a pushbike?!nIf this was in the parody section of comedy, Iu0026#39;d go with it, like a Spinal Tap kind of thing. Yet itu0026#39;s not, it actually wants to be taken seriously. Donu0026#39;t. I suspect that product placement is funding this show. Beware and donu0026#39;t believe a word until you fact check it and review some independent reviews as well.nThis is what TV for thickos has become.”
