(WMC) - Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago (Neoproterozoic days), Earth’s rotation has been gradually slowing down. If that’s enough for you, stream on.MEMPHIS, Tenn. Is it fun to watch him frolic in a hot spring? Also yes. Does he fumble a little bit on the nuance that could have been there? Yes. Let’s face it: Sometimes it’s fun to just let a hunk be a hunk, and Zac does that exceedingly well. The one thing working for Down to Earth is obviously the Zac factor. If you’re someone who hasn’t been paying much attention to how to live your life more sustainably, this show is maybe a great introductory course for how all this stuff works, but if you have been paying attention, it’s not really going to help you at all. I can’t do all that much with all that info. Do you? And the France ep, while an interesting meditation on H2O, didn’t tell me all that much other than (1) plastic water bottles are bad, which I already knew, and (2) Paris kicks our ass when it comes to water access for citizens. I don’t have access to any hot springs currently.
Like, just because Zac learned how to bake a loaf of bread in a hot spring doesn’t mean that I, the average American, know how that applies to my way of life. The other issue is that neither the France nor Iceland episode gave viewers any real action items. You Def Wanna Know Who Zac Efron’s New GF Is.After watching the Iceland episode, for example, I still have no real idea why Zac and Darin went to a place that made chocolate bars, because they didn’t do that great of a job explaining it or why it relates to the environmental mission of the show. Both Zac and Darin react to the things the experts say with a “Whoa, that’s cool!” and then move on. It hops from scene to scene so quickly that the two hosts don’t get to ask real, meaningful questions of the people they’re interviewing to give viewers any real takeaways. The problem with Down to Earth is that while it attempts to tell viewers about these sustainable ways of living, it doesn’t actually dive deep on any of the topics. Seems like a fine enough goal for a reality show hosted by a celebrity. The France episode was a journey for both of them to learn more about the water we drink and how certain countries, like France, have found ways to cut down on their plastic bottle usage. The Iceland episode followed them as they went to hot springs, learned about renewable energy, and looked at a waterfall (for reasons that were slightly unclear). The show follows Zac and his friend/guru Darin Olien as they travel the world in search of “healthy, sustainable ways to live.” In the two episodes I saw, Zac and Darin went to Iceland and France.
