Dark Tourist

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.

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.

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.

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 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
