Pretty good entertainment, the host didn't really grab me, but he served his purpose, so why only three episodes? I watched all three episodes and I only saw one slight pronunciation error, he said swathing like Sway-thing, that is until the last episode.

I don't know if I'm right or not, but in the last episode, they show an elephant being executed by electrocution, a clip from the 1930s or so, and I thought the animal rights people are gonna be all over you, man, show canceled, then it turned out that there were no more episodes. Maybe he really got sued or something or maybe people thought he was a little boring and awkward, kinda like a British Anthony Bordain. That's just my opinion, he was great besides that, the bit with the bedbug and louse in the New york episode was exciting to watch since I hate them both, lol.

Everyone hiking in this doc is a snooty rich jerk with no sense of humor. They are so corny and stupid, it makes me a little embarrassed to be a white American. There is nothing hard about what they did. They were going at the pace of 8 miles a day, which can easily be covered in about four hours through the manicured trails these people were traversing. They also broke trail and hit up a burger joint along the way. There is no substance here, nothing happens the entire time, there is no character development at all, just rich jerks snapping photos like Japanese tourists and pretending that they are 'roughing it.'

John Muir's quotes are excruciating and if he saw this documentary, he would be rolling over in his grave. I'm sure he never envisioned pioneering a joy walk for rich douche bags.
