Rogue Trip

As somebody who occasionally watched Bob Woodruff as a reporter, I had a degree of nostalgia watching this. More than that, though, it's a great concept for a show - he spent a lot of time reporting on various problems in other countries, and now he's trying to highlight other countries' best qualities. It's a sort of righting of the cosmic scale, at least so far as he can accomplish.

The itineraries are quite interesting and you feel more or less like somebody on the trip with them. Sometimes their reactions are not the most polished, so I see why others felt that they seemed a bit like privileged outsiders, but ultimately I think they succeed in the show's stated goal of showing the humanity of the people they're visiting. They're likable people too.

The videos are sometimes quite stunning as well - now I really want to visit Papua New Guinea!

The themes speak for themselves. Outside of that it's authentic, which is the most important thing.

I enjoyed the remote and special places they toured. It was awesome to see a father and son in their authentic relationship. I was happy to not be entertained, but rather on the trip with them.

Hope they take another trip and make a season 2.

I enjoyed seeing so many parts of the world that are not normally shown. It was wonderful to see the beauty in Pakistan, Lebanon, Columbia, etc that aren't shown on tv. I think the best part was seeing how Bob Woodruff interacted with his son Mack and vice versa and the people around them. The relationship between them and his daughter is amazing. The reasoning behind this show and why he kept doing his job after his accident was inspiring.

I agree with other reviews I have read. I really enjoy the idea on stories, however the hosts are not engaging or entertaining at all. Hosts in my view need to add value to the program, this father and son team are nice enough but they distract from the show in my view.
