About

You may like this if you enjoy offbeat travel shows and curious real-world subcultures, somewhere between The Moaning of Life and Fightworld; Not for you if a host’s awkward or judgmental vibe quickly ruins a series for you.

Pros: fascinating premise; unusual destinations; often informative | Cons: divisive host presence; can feel shallow; sometimes insensitive tone
