Biaseshow

Biaseshow is a contemporary television series that premiered in 2019 on the streaming platform NexTV. The show blends elements of documentary and scripted drama to explore the role of bias in media, politics, and everyday life. It is hosted by journalist Alex Rivera who interviews experts, activists, and members of underrepresented groups. Each episode centers on a specific type of bias—for example, confirmation bias, algorithmic bias, or confirmation bias in public policy—and demonstrates how it influences perception and decision-making through re-enactments, statistical visualizations, and interactive segments. The series is formatted into 30‑minute episodes, with twelve episodes comprising the first season, which is currently available for streaming.

The production team includes producers Linda Chen and Mateo Ramirez, director of photography Naomi Park, and a writing staff of ten. The show incorporates original music composed by Liza Mandel, using a minimalist score that incorporates ambient sounds from the scenes it covers. The narrative structure is anchored by Rivera’s “bias lab” segment, where he challenges viewers with real‑world case studies, encouraging them to reflect on their own biases.

Critics have praised Biaseshow for its educational approach and accessibility. Aggregator reviews show a 78% approval rating, citing its balanced presentation of complex topics. The series has attracted positive attention from academic circles, where it has been used as supplementary teaching material in media literacy courses.

Notable guests on the program include sociologist Dr. Josephine Lee, data scientist Ning Wu, and former commentator Thomas Keller. The show has received a nomination for the 2020 Independent Spirit Awards in the Best Educational Series category. Biaseshow’s creators stated that the series aims to foster critical thinking among viewers and to promote a more informed public discourse.
