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.

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.

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.

It could be a 7 star show but the host is very difficult to like, you see him more walking, jumping than anything else. Constantly over reacting, fake astonishment or disgust. Come on the show is not about you. For a 10 star show, producers need to put more emphasis on science, scientists, history or archeology. BBC is so much better.

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?
