Dark Tourist

The series features interesting sights and events. Things you might not normally come across as they are rather niche and off the beaten track.

The one downside that I find bothersome is the host's being shocked at every slightly controversial thing. I don't know whether it's scripted that way or if he is easily offended, but it often comes across as ignorant.

Looking past that, however, I would recommend the series as it offers an insight into many places that are seen (almost) nowhere else on television.

I absolutely love this show! It's so unique and informative to see other parts of the world in ways that they are not normally depicted. However, my one complaint is just David Farrier in general. I admire him for actually taking the initiative and going to all of these places, but upon getting there and hearing their customs/traditions, he always seems offended. He is never wanting to participate in these activities that are "norm" for these residents, and if someone says something that he doesn't agree with, he automatically is very rude and short with them. I just think a show that explores such different parts of the world would benefit from a more open-minded host.

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

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.
