Abandoned

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!

I love this show. Beautiful and sad. Please bring it back!!

This was such a well done series. It really brings home what we are facing in our country. I am someone who pays attention to the news, reads, is thoughtful about politics and, yet, I had no awareness of what was happening in many of the areas in this series. It made me sad and frustrated to see that the media and those in power are so good at hiding things they don't like to talk about. Rick McCrank was an excellent host. His subtle sense of humor and nonjudgmental manner were perfect. Such a nice change from the screaming heads of the main stream media. I am sad that this show does not seem to have more than one season.

Absolutely fell in love with this docu/drama reality TV history educational reality series. And I HATE reality TV. Don't ask questions, just watch this accidental genius. I keep praying for a season2, but doubt we will get it :(

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.
