Dark Tourist

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

This show typifies the saying that it takes all kinds to make the world go around. Some of the locations are truly astounding and must be seen to understand the human experience. The city in Turkmenistan was truly bizarre and belongs in a James Bond movie.

Some of the people were very disturbing. For me the most disturbing are the selfie takers and people who film everything! The show points these people out very well. The most disturbing were the Manson fans idly recording everything the host was doing which I suspect was only to post to their social media for the lofty goal of getting likes and views. More disturbing selfie moments were with dead bodies and destroyed cities. Then there is the one guy who had a bag of hair products because he must look good when walking through atomic wastelands. We truly live in a world where it's just about showing up and saying look at me.

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.

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.

There's lots of scenes containing dead animals, or harm to animals, in multiple episodes. Good to know if you're a half-decent human with some sort of sensitivity towards this
