Gold Rush: Parker's Trail

Interesting and fun to see gold mining and travel.

Annoying as hell having to constantly look at the photographers face

Definitely made-for-TV bs at times.

Nice scenery and interesting locations, but who believes this "we're on our own" bs?

I rarely (if ever) see their cameraman actually holding a camera and their security guy really isn't their security guy.....it's obvious there is a complete other team around them for filming and security. That's ok but don't pretend otherwise......viewers are not stupid.

Also whats up with showing the same previews of whats to come over and over again!? .....and endless recaps....

Please... Be more like your grandpa. Heck, even your dad. Show respect to your crew more bud.

Parker is undoubtedly a talented and driven guy. But, man is it difficult to watch his mood roller coaster sometimes. His colleagues all seem like good guys, but it is uncomfortable to watch Parker moan and generally behave atrociously to towards his friends. Why do I want to tune in to watch someone constantly be rude to those around him? Obviously this is a challenging undertaking for the team, but I don't see the rest of the expedition spiralling down into a dark funk of utter bummedoutedness. Maybe he'll chill on series 2!?

A lot of effort and planning has gone into making this programme to make it work logistically. It's a shame it doesn't live up to its potential. I'm a big fan of the gold rush series, I think they work because most of the characters are as interesting as watching the gold come out of the ground. This is where this series fails for me, Parker is true to himself, I don't feel like he's playing to the cameras he's pretty dry and quite moody at times but I accept him for who he is and quite like him. Tyler's an ok addition although I think she lacks a bit of presence and personality to carry of her roll. I can't workout why Wow check out the sluice Dan is almost carrying the production or seemingly so. It doesnt work for me at all, either shoot shots and shut up or get rid of him, he's incredibly irritating to watch. Could be so much better with a bit less drama and less cheese. Ok if you don't feel like using your brain too much on a Sunday afternoon.
