Lost Cities with Albert Lin

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.

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.

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?

Love the subject, and seeing what these ancient places look like today. The photography and filming of this series is great. The drone-lidar images are very compelling and definitely worthy of a show. But, the technology doesn't make up for the downside.

The manufactured dramatization and borderline cheesy dialogue is way too distracting to take the show seriously. The host makes it seem as if he is actually discovering these places, and many of the interpretations of are a bit of a stretch.

This series is worth checking out, especially if you're into adventure/discovery, But personally, I couldn't get past the rehearsed interactions and lack of new information. BBC.

Unfortunately, Lost Cities on Disney+ seems to be much ado about nothing... omg people lived here before us? And? Nothing is learned from this series. I love stuff like this, but it's a bit silly. Finding two similar symbols 2000 miles apart isn't insane. People were sailing 2000 years ago, but people act like our technology is so advanced that people of history were just hunter gatherers with no communication or network or travel or innovation. But one thing I've learned in my life is that where there's a will, there's a way... and without technology, you use whatever you have on hand, and you make it happen.

And these become the foundations of mysteries, mysteries that I think are not mysterious at all to anyone but the arrogant and the ignorant.

The host of this series asks no interesting questions and uncovers really nothing and the episodes go essentially, nowhere.
