Lost Cities with Albert Lin

So much of the camera focus is on the host and not on the views he's looking at. He is always the center of attention. His face is always half of the tv. I don't hate the guy at all. And I'm glad an Asian guy is getting camera time. But the main focus should be on tbe cities; not on him.

After you read this comment, go watch an episode and tell me you don't notice it.... I dare you.

This show unfortunately is more entertainment than real archeology. I had high hopes when I read that he would be using Lidar but its been more hype than substance. Lin definitely likes his tech toys but I'm often not sure what real benefit some of them bring. The first episode he must have used the word "treasure" over twenty times. As a history buff I'd be far more excited by scrolls than gold. Still it's worth a watch and in truth no worse than most so called archeology shows today. Just don't expect any in depth searching. Other than the Lidar they never dig a site.

This series has so much potential. But it's all about Albert Lin. In the episode I watched there were so many shots of his face. And even his shirtless torso. Why was it necessary to waste 5 minutes of the episode watching him surf? Everything is so contrived. And his reactions fake.

But the worst part was Lin's time on the research vessel in the Black Sea. They were trying to make it seem like he was part of the team, but he was obviously just in the way. He kept saying WE'RE looking for or WE found... who is we??? You have absolutely nothing to do with this expedition. These are not your discoveries. You have done absolutely nothing but show your face on camera. It angered me. You made this archeologist's life of research all about you. It's incredibly vain.

Even if I know a lot about these places, I still found new things.Great, entertaining, educational! Of course, Albert Lin is a + to this show! I really hope for more seasons!

For the inquisitive mind this is above and beyond satisfying. The host asks all the right questions and arrives at grand discoveries. Some amazing architectural wonders that once we're. A totally mind opening and worthy show. Not to mention the host's phenomenal physical, mental and oral abilities. I watch a good amount of documentaries and a lot of National Geographic ones and this is quite captivating. Who wouldn't like to know about old civilizations and their lost cities?
