Cities of the Underworld

I didn't like it. The narrator is irritating to listen to. She is unnecessary, because the host do talk and tell stuff. She only makes the show sound and look all Christian, and with hateful retorik to all other religions / non religions. It sounds a lot like a hate speach the way she says it and the words she use. I can not recommend this show. I had to change the channel, cause her words made me mad. How can a show on History channel be so religious and only hold on to that single religion, while throwing mud on everyone else.

On the show that profiled the black dahlia, there were many missing facts. The woman's body was cut into pieces so the person shown to have been an employee of the hotel could not have dragged her through the tunnels and put her body in the park/lot. It has also been mentioned that the body was cleaned before being dumped.. I studied this case in school, I am sure others have too.

This program has turned out to be a very interesting investigations of the 'secret' underground worlds under many of the largest and most famous cities of the globe, from New York to Budapest, London to Rome.The information is well presented and filmed and your interest is held comfortably for the length of the shows.

My only complaint, and it occurs only occasionally, is that the presenter, Eric Geller, can become overly loud and overly demonstrative when pointing out certain areas or items that, in my opinion, didn't deserve the exaggeration, yet most of the time he is enthusiastic and not as overpowering.

I watched the first season last month on Amazon Prime and I am hooked. I plan to watch the others next. Each episode investigates the underground in one city and adds historical insights. Who knew there was so much under our feet-- be they natural caves, water systems, sewage systems, secret underground meeting places, metro systems, military installations, etc. Truly fascinating. i cant say enough good things about this series.

I found this show to be very interesting. However, the host is quite repetitive, and I would have liked to see more EXPERT commentary. He often spouts off vague explanations and seems unsure if we are looking at a cemetery/hippodrome tunnel/ royal courtyard/ lavatory. you get the idea. I also have a penchant for dark spaces so I really feel at home watching this show. However I feel like they could have spoken more about the creatures that live down there, since they are obviously not abandoned. If you pause at 3:40 in the Instanbul video you will see traces of scat. I would have enjoyed it if the narrator had identified the scat and given more insight into what animals live down there (cats).

Overall, the imagery makes the show interesting enough to keep me watching. would bump up rating to 8 with more cats.

7.5/10
