(+) Yeah! (+)

Best reality/documentary show I've seen in a while.

Yeah it was great. The Japan episode was pretty crazy.

Yeah, the nuclear disaster tour was intense.

I loved it. Regarding the nuclear disaster tour... 1 - why the hell did that chick go if she was just going to complain the whole time? I hate people like that. 2 - They got the information screwed up and then cited it wrong every time afterwards - the guide said the *inhabitable limit*, he was talking about if you were to LIVE there on a permanent basis, and yet everyone on the tour afterwards was like "omg it's above the maximum limit you said we have to leave now!!!"

Oh also I hated when he visits the nuclear test site in Kazakhstan and says "they call it Poligon"... "Poligon" is literally just the Russian word for a range or field (in the military context, like a proving ground, test range, etc.), and there are hundreds of "Poligons" out there. That episode was also really depressing though.

I watched all the episodes and while it seemed that it'd be a cool show, I found myself annoyed with the host. Guy was rude, showed little interest, and was a complete hipster to everything he encountered. I think the show has potential though. I thought he spent too much time on some segments and some episodes focused way too much on animal violence. Stay away from the South Asia episode for example.
