I agree the being a TV show is evidence that this is more self-promotion and less fact. That's just because the prior probability is that way - content is selected for more by promotion than by quality.

But that doesn't exclude facts or otherwise useful or positive content. Thus I'd like to see a more qualified retort.

It being a TV show means that it's focused on stunts that look good on camera.

That's not the goal for most learning projects.
