“There’s no way on earth that anyone has ever suggested that the mechanical content of the show is going to be reduced,” Brewer said. This revelation angered fans, resulting in Brewer being on the receiving end of their venom – which even came in the form of death threats to him and other members of his family.īrewer publicly countered China’s claims that Discovery planned to reduce the workshop aspect of the show in the upcoming season.
