Thirst with Shay Mitchell

As a travel, food, drink, and culture enthusiast I was interested in this show. I was unfamiliar with the host but grew to love her and found her very entertaining and relatable. For people that are leaving bad reviews, maybe this show just isn't for you. Shay is playful and interested in learning about other cultures. She provides a unique and entertaining perspective for a travel show. I appreciate the camera eye contact, as she is bringing her viewers in with her on her journey. I didn't feel in any way that she was mocking any culture. Just learning through experiencing it firsthand. I hope this show continues!

I loved the show. I think it's really smart to use the BTS instead of studio b roll and it makes the locations feel alive. I follow Shay on social and this feels a good cross between the BTS you see on social and normal travelogue. I hope it gets picked up for a second season so I can see more of these things around other parts of the world and see Shay interact with other people and communities. I would highly recommend this show to anyone who is interested in drinking culture / the food space or anyone who just wants to watch a fun, entertaining show that will keep you wanting more each week!

Host and show are both super engaging. They not only showcase some beautiful storytelling around local cultures and beverages but it also takes us a long for the ride - given you a little taste of the behind the scenes and the realness that goes into creating a show like this, the ups and downs of travel and tackling some fears 😂 Some people here don't realize what the show is trying to do and it shows... Shay takes us on a journey through South America introduces us to some locals and celebrates the rich cultures through the beverages - made me want to visit these places myself - exactly what a travel show should do!

I don't knock many host on t.v show but let me tell you something about this lady, she is a terrible host for what this is. She absolutely is cringe in every single scene. Why does she look at the camera on every single scene? You can visibly tell how uncomfortable she is with nearly every drink or situation or food that is presented to her. I just don't understand how you can go into a show being so cringe. She may be super model beautiful but she lacks the ability to keep your attention for long stretches. I'm a pretty easy guy to keep entertained, especially when beautiful women come into play. I'm 23 minutes into episode 1, while a little buzzed and I want to turn it off. Crazy.

I was so excited when I read the summary for this show. It has not been done before and it is a great concept - drinking around the world and learning about the history of drinks. I even like the filming. BUTTTTTTTT the host. Oh my god, she is so cringe. She is outright rude to the indigenous people she is meeting. They are showing their culture and life and she gives them dirty looks, mocking and making rude comments. She needs to learn to suck it up and deal with it and get grossed out later. I never care about hosts. Replace the host and I'll keep watching. Or someone else will redo it way better.
