I absolutely love this show! It's so unique and informative to see other parts of the world in ways that they are not normally depicted. However, my one complaint is just David Farrier in general. I admire him for actually taking the initiative and going to all of these places, but upon getting there and hearing their customs/traditions, he always seems offended. He is never wanting to participate in these activities that are "norm" for these residents, and if someone says something that he doesn't agree with, he automatically is very rude and short with them. I just think a show that explores such different parts of the world would benefit from a more open-minded host.

My fiance and I binged the whole series in a night. I don't get the negative comments. The host is fine and makes some funny comments. Very interesting series that draws you in immediately.

The series features interesting sights and events. Things you might not normally come across as they are rather niche and off the beaten track.

The one downside that I find bothersome is the host's being shocked at every slightly controversial thing. I don't know whether it's scripted that way or if he is easily offended, but it often comes across as ignorant.

Looking past that, however, I would recommend the series as it offers an insight into many places that are seen (almost) nowhere else on television.

An enjoyable time, giving a little bit of knowledge into the world of Dark Tourism. I will say, the presenter often felt he was forcing stories into the show instead of it coming naturally. It has this staged feel to it that feels very one sided most of the time. I also come from Paddock Wood, the location of the War and Peace show, shown in the episode "Europe". And it's obvious that he is drawing at straws as the show itself is about remembering the past, however it's presented in a way that makes the majority of the person's attending nazi sympathisers. Which couldn't be further from the truth. Anyway, good show, just very over dramatic.

This show typifies the saying that it takes all kinds to make the world go around. Some of the locations are truly astounding and must be seen to understand the human experience. The city in Turkmenistan was truly bizarre and belongs in a James Bond movie.

Some of the people were very disturbing. For me the most disturbing are the selfie takers and people who film everything! The show points these people out very well. The most disturbing were the Manson fans idly recording everything the host was doing which I suspect was only to post to their social media for the lofty goal of getting likes and views. More disturbing selfie moments were with dead bodies and destroyed cities. Then there is the one guy who had a bag of hair products because he must look good when walking through atomic wastelands. We truly live in a world where it's just about showing up and saying look at me.

I don't understand the negative remarks about the host. He was fun to watch because his reactions came across so authentically. He also showed much respect for the places he visited and people he cane in contact with.

I have no idea why everyone is hating on the host - I find him so intelligent, insightful and funny. I guess the humour in New Zealand and Australia (where I'm from) is different to people watching in the US. Everyone is saying he always looks shocked - wouldn't you be if you saw someone drinking someone's blood? Or getting overly excited and turned on by cannibalism? He's super interested yet knows how weird and crazy it all is so it's a mix of making fun of people as well as making fun of himself for being intrigued by it. I think people are taking him too seriously.

Either way just a good idea for a show too! Love the Japan episode. I want another season.

This shows premise is very interesting and I binge watched it. While I thought the different cultures and ways of living were very fascinating, and I understood why the people were doing what they were doing, the host seemed so squeamish. You honestly can't be a "dark tourist" and experience culture shock at the same time. You know what you signed up for. He just seemed so offended by every thing and was at times, disrespectful to the people and their culture, especially when he looked disgusted by some things. Sure, they're a little gross but you gotta have an open mind. It doesn't matter if he knows he's being disrespectful and acknowledges it, actually that makes it even worse. I just wish there was a host who would be able to understand the culture and reasoning and have fun doing what they're doing. It's fine to watch if you just kind of ignore the guy.

This show is fantastic because of how real it is all the way through to the host. This is also why some people may not like it. The host is very respectable but asks ALOT of questions but he asks questions that many of us would be afraid to ask. In my opinion, this is excellent journalism and how you are able to get the deep and mitt gritty details of a story. This is what makes this show unique.

There's lots of scenes containing dead animals, or harm to animals, in multiple episodes. Good to know if you're a half-decent human with some sort of sensitivity towards this

Overall I found the series to be pretty interesting. The presenter didn't bother me as much as he seems to for others.

The series made me want to try a few of the things he did on the tour, especially the JFK tours look very interesting.

Take a little tour of the dark side of life!

The segments are 15min, not a lot to really dive deep into the topic.

David is super judgemental and instead of exploring why peopld doing what he judges it based on his own reference and then starts to make rude jokes about it. Which then really makes it come across as if ge wants to show of himself. His voice overs are obsolete and don't really add a lot.

Very disappointing

Very entertaining, interesting and educational.

Not really extreme or dangerous. Just a window into some interesting people and places.

Really don't get everyone ragging on the host. He poses questions in a similar way to Jon Ronson, always with a smile and kindness but he's not afraid to ask the tough, blunt questions. I guess some people find this offensive. He also has an extremely dry sense of humour, which again, I think some people found offensive but I think he is pretty funny. Nothing offended me at all. It's a style of journalism where he goes and experiences the places and pushes some boundaries, and asks difficult questions to try and get behind the psych of it all. He's not trying to make a neutral doco. Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot.

I was expecting the presenter to be awful looking at the comments. However, he is watchable and like a low budget Louis theroux. Overall it's worth a watch.

I binge watched the first season on a weekend since after first episode I was hooked. Well worth the watch! Shows the world from an angle you didn't know even existed. Some episodes are better than others for obvious reasons however even the less interesting ones were enjoyable.

I'd rate it higher if the host and narrator wasn't such a princess about these places and makes everything uncomfortable unintentionally. He says some extremely preacher things about morals and greed and it takes me out of the cool subject matter. Other than that, it's a really interesting show.

I'd love to say it's one of the best documentary shows. Fresh and appealing. Dark tourism at its best. A must watch for reality fans. Gonna worth every minute. David and team did a really great job. Watch and thank me later.

A 7 pretty much entirely thanks to the places the show visited and the people met. The guy looks a lot like Louis Theroux and has some similar mannerisms, almost like he's trying to impersonate him, but comes across as far more close-minded and judgemental, and imposes himself on the interactions a lot more. He also seems quite easily shocked etc.

If you have similar views etc to him you may not notice it so much, but otherwise it feels like where a better programme would just show you these interesting things, and here it's shown through the perspective of how the typical netflix staff member/this kind of guy probably sees things.

The show itself is pretty cool as you get to see some outrageous things that don't make it into the holiday brochures. In some episodes you get to learn about different cultures and explore them in a way that you didn't think was possible and in other episodes you see how people have made businesses by being very opportunistic by thinking outside of the box. Unfortunately the host, David Farrier, sucks some of the enjoyment out of this series. He travels all round the world experiencing things that the vast majority could only dream of experiencing but anytime he's challenged or finds anything remotely difficult he gets offended and becomes quite abrupt with his hosts. He should be the poster boy for the overly sensitive and easily offended and while many people will relate and sympathise with him, I just found him to be an irritating child for large portions of the show. He's a poor man's Louis Theroux and should step aside to let somebody who's willing be open minded take over should Dark Tourist get a second season.

Great premise for a show but poorly executed - found myself bored at times..

Highly suggest you watch idiot abroad / moaning of life instead - which contains just as much 'dark tourism' but with a hilarious and likeable host.
