Abandoned

TOTALLY couldn't stop!!! It's an eye opener, though!!

With a genuine, charismatic host in Rick McCrank, this shows is one of the most entertaining pieces of television I've seen over the last few years.

McCrank adds some great, real humour while digging into the brass tacks of how these areas became abandoned, and why the few have chosen to stay.

Outstanding. 10/10.

This is so authentic, in its look at people and their lives and what once was. Rick takes everyone and everything at face value, and presents the stories in a very unpretentious way. I feel like I visited these places (in truth, I have), met the people, and glimpsed the glory of the past of these places. The narrative is poignant, the cinematography is beautiful, and the musical montages are haunting. Please bring this show back for a second season!

Quality productions, interesting subjects, thoroughly enjoyable. No Hollywood-style trickery and nonsense. Informative and non-judgemental. Sometimes sad, sometimes uplifting. A testament to folly and waste. Might not be popular with patriotic Americans. Thanks SBS Australia and Viceland. More quality documentaries like this please.

We loved this show. We looked forward to every episode that came out and have watched them numerous times. We are not huge skate fans but find that it doesn't detract from the show. We love the way the stories of the abandoned places was told. How about a second season...if anyone is listening.
