Bill Nye Saves the World (Season 1)

America’s favorite science guy is coming to Netflix! Bill Nye the Science Guy, Nye’s original show that many of us saw in our science classrooms back in the day, is on Netflix currently. When the show was put on the streaming site, many people got excited over the idea of a whole new show starring the science guy. Each of the 13 episodes, viewers will be taken into the depths of a different science topic. Nye has been an advocate for climate change during these past few years, so one episode will surely focus on that. But who doesn’t love learning about science with Bill Nye the Science Guy?
